Genetics Experts: Can you get Lavender from B/B/S?

pips&peeps you are 100% correct on that or even possibly came from a mutation in a line which the chances are so very slim.

Pic's of The late great grandfather to our lav Orp Project..

"Lester....his plumage was in rough shape at the time these pic's were taken..

Is there an age when this "test" works best - I guess to clarify does this test work after the first molt or 6 month molt? I ask because I have a very young Lavender Ameraucana chick from John Blehm (so I have no doubt it carries a double copy of the lav gene) - I will go and check the little cockerel and see.

Feathers, here are some wing feathers off a smaller younger bro to the first bird in question.

I JUST popped these wing feather pics off this other young BLUE just for your question

I AM extremely happy IF ALL he is a BLUE

Please tell us what to look for? And is this bird too young to tell?

lildinkem -

In the pictures you sent me it looks like the outside of the feather shaft is a Blue color and the inside of feather shaft is a White color... Am I right?

lildinkem i don't believe he is a lav.. the quills on the side of the bird we see should be very light completely all over the bird..

heres a pic of a lav rumpless araucana you can see his quills are very light colored all over..not just the primary wing feathers..

I trust you guys, that is why I am here to find out. I am happy with that. IF you need anymore pics just ask.

 

[lildinkem]

I can see what your talking about Charlie. Very nice bird.

I'm thinking a possible splash with the different colored quills on both bird pic's.. maybe Andalusian without pg ??

That was what I thought. I am happy with a Blue Splash. I have two splashes from Julie.
Pretty cool. I can't wait to see these guys grow out.
