Granny's gone and done it again

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/

h2o, I made a mistake. It's worse than that... you would only get 25% lavender chicks from the offspring that have one lavender gene. If you want to breed lavenders, you would be better off finding a nice lavender rooster.

I have learned in a boarding school so I alwayes had animals in my room, One of my best one was a snake that was in my shirt pocket all the time.
In one of the boaring English lessons (grammar it was.)my good friend told me to do somthing because we couldn't stand anymore, so I took my snake and realst it in the middle of the class and my freind shouted like he saw the devil! In a microsecond all the class became a a huge mess! I suddenly see Mr Choen ouer English teacher raising his desk, trying to smash it, so I shouted to him that I can take him outside, so I grab the class broom and took it outside and directly into my pocket again! That was some fun lesson!

Oh Benny... So you were one of THOSE kind of students!!! I'm glad you saved your snake. What kind was it?

it says white skin but se

e around the eye where its red ? Mine is white.

A red face could be due to anemia. Did you check really good for mites? I bet that's your problem. My serama rooster used to get mites when the females never did because he was always standing guard when they dust bathed. I never once saw that bird take a dust bath.

No, I don't think I want to breed them. I do like my BBS they are pretty. I have 4 gold laced orps. One jubilee. Orp. My splash is beautiful. How do they make the cuckoo orps?
