Isobel vs Porcelain

[yotetrapper]

I'm confused by these 2 colors. Does anyone have photos of each of these color patterns? Also, what is the genotype of them....

Simple. Porcelain is millefleur combined with lavender. This changes the black parts into lavender and the gold groundcolor into isobel (spelling?). This isobel groundcolor is possible on any color based on gold and lavender, eg buff/isobel columbian, isobel = lavender partridge, isobel = lavender quail. Also the lavender does not need to show, so the combination (solid) buff and lavender becomes solid isobel. Note you don't get this combination right away when you cross a buff to a lavender...

Isabel porcelain is buff with the lavender gene. The lav dilutes any black, and lightens the buff on the bird and is most commonly seen in silkies. Porcelain has not been established in silkies as of yet, and when it finally is, it will look very similar to isabel, since patterns are difficult to distinguish on silkies. True porcelains carry the columbian, buff, mottled, and lavender genes. Porcelain is mille fluer that had been diluted by the lav gene.

Here is the lav gene on its own

Here's a mille fleur d'uccle

And a true porcelain d'uccle

This is an isabel porcelain bred by George Mihalik

Hope this helps clarify it for you

Edited for spelling..

She is the love of my life! Practically blind, she's so poufy! She laid a couple eggs last year, then went broody. I have a black/lav roo from Bobbi Porto in case she decides to lay again.

So,
Porcelin is- Millie Fluer diluted by Lavender
Isobel is- Buff diluted by Lavender

Is this correct?
