From what I understand, lavender is a recessive dilution gene, so you need 2 copies for it to express. If you breed lavender with BBS, all the offspring will carry one lav gene, but you will get no lav chicks (unless your BBS has a lav gene). If you breed those chicks together, I you can get 50% lav offspring. I do not know how BBS interacts with the lav. I don't know if there is a different black other than BBS or if all black is the same. Same with blue... they call one type Andulusian blue, but not sure if that's the same gene from BBS. I think lavender is dilution of a black gene, but not sure. Just that I know breeders will work with black to bring in desired traits. I'm not a fan of lav due to weak feathers, but some of these birds form UK are beautiful. https://poultrykeeper.com/poultry-breeding/the-lavender-gene/

I guess I shouldn't mix them together.

Picked over 5 gallons of cukes again yesterday. Made up another 4 quarts of cuke salad and in the fridge will keep WAY past Christmas. The tuffest part is peeling and slicing 8 cups of cukes needed per batch. But that way I can be a little picky and the chickens benefit as well.

Why do cucumbers get bitter? A neighbor brought us some. I peeled and sliced them. Some were very good but some were bitter. It didn't seem to depend on size either.

Cucumbers plants that are stressed during the growing season may produce fruit that is bitter flavored. Commonly a lack of water or temperatures too cold or too hot cause cucumbers to bear bitter tasting fruit. ... Cucumbers contain organic compounds called cucurbitacins that can cause fruit to taste bitter.

That's why I either add salt or BBQ sauce to them
