Has anyone attempted a lavender Orpington too over a white silkie hen cross before? Have pictures? I'm wanting to try this and just curious if anyone has before.
Silkies are recessive white, and lavender is also recessive. I would guess that in the first generation you would produce black birds with crests, beards, walnut combs, five toes, and black skin. They won't have silkie feathers, which are recessive.
a bit late to the party but anyway i just hatched what i’m assuming is a splash(??) not really sure how that happened. from a lavender orpington hen and a white silkie roo (yeah, little dude has mad game). the silkie roo has more of a pea comb than walnut, from a local hatchery i believe so, you know how it goes, and the lavender orpington is from meyer hatchery. this is their cockerel, he looks like christopher walken. 4 toes, clean legs. pics of the parents below.
