Hi everyone,
This years hatching hasn't really gone to plan.... I've spent hundreds of pounds on hatching eggs from top breeders to hopefully improve my current stock and gene pool. Unfortunately either eggs have been blank, not hatched or had deformaties etc
Anyway, I was desperately hoping to have some lavenders to breed from next year. Got some eggs from great stock but one of them has hatched blue instead of lavender. This is a Cockerel. My question to you knowledgeable lot out there is - could he be a split lavender? If so, would it be worth hanging on to him to see if he passes on the lavender gene? If so, how should I go about this??
Cheers!
