I only know about the Lemon Blues, since that is one of my colors. The man I got my cochins from started with a brown red and then bred blue into it and it took many years to get the right color and lacing to come together.

(as said) Lemon blue is brown red plus blue: (E^R/E^R s+/s+ Bl/nl+)

Lavender requires its own gene, which you get from breeding to a bird that is already lavender, and therefore likely a different breed. It is a recessive gene so will take two generations to get lavender birds; then you have to breed for many generations to get back to type.

Paint also requires the gene, although exactly what the gene is and its exact dominance is not established. It is thought to be an allele of dominant white. You need a paint bird to start.

1st. It is a self blue Cochin which carries the lavender gene and not Lavender Cochin as some advertise. You need at least 1 self blue cochin minimum and a black cochin to cross it to. You can not use a blue or splash Cochin, it must be as self blue bird. The 1st generation of this cross would be all black. Cross back the next generation and I believe you will get 25% self blue chicks and 75% black(of which 25% would carry the lavender gene). The easiest way is to buy 2 self blue cochins and breed them if you only want to just have self blue cochins. The only way to improve them is to breed to high quality blacks and work at it for years. There is a self blue cochin thread that will give you much information.

I don't have the information you need on silkies or lemon blue cochins.
