LAV ORP roo over a CLB hen and a Wheaton hen

[Minky]

What would I get if I crossed a Lavender Orpington rooster and a CLB hen ?
What would the chicken look like?

What would I get if I crossed the same rooster with a Wheaton hen?

Lavender (self blue) acts as black when crossed to anything other than lavender. So I believe you would get black pullets and barred cockerels with the CLB.
With the wheaton, I believe all the chicks would be black
All the chicks should also be split to lavender (carry the lavender gene, which could be expressed if these chicks were crossed to lavender).
I am fairly new at figuring out genetics, so hopefully others will chime in and correct me if I am incorrect.

Black pullets and barred cockerels, but with leakage. Look up Black Sex Links. They would look like that but maybe less leakage, and the leakage would be a lighter shade. They would also have crests and the pullets would lay pale green eggs.

Same thing, but the roosters wouldn't have barring. (What breed of hen?)

 

[Minky]

Hmmm. so then how would someone achieve a barred lavender pullet?

 

[Minky]

Good question! Sounds like one for the experts!

Know any???

 

[Minky]

Then you’d have something that looks like Black Sexlinks but with cream eggs and at least half of the offspring would have pea combs.

I would like to avoid black birds. I have a small line of BCM and that is enough black for me.

Yeah sadly black is very dominant. They won't be totally black, more like this (I forgot to mention that the roosters from the wheaten cross won't have barring btw)

but personally don't find that quantity too impressive either. (not my pic)

If you wanted more color, I would use basically any rooster that isn't black based. (Lavender is a dilution of black.) What other roosters do you have?

 

[Minky]

ok, thanks that is very helpful information.
Below are photos are my other non- black roosters.
I'm not a big fan of barring either. (at least not on black)

Am I right to think that my black based roosters are : my lavender orpington, 2 BC Marans, 2 cuckoo marans?

I'm not good when it comes to genes, the only jeans I really know are the ones I get from Old Navy
Me just joking around, I've never crossbred chickens except for sticking random eggs under a broody hen.
