Lavender Orpington breeding

[sawilliams]

So I've been trying to find color combination info for Lavender Orpington, I seem to be finding a lot on blue, black, buff and even chocolate, but the lavender send a bit more limited.

Understand overall my flock is a mixed flock, but the kids picks a lavender rooster from our friends flock and last month the same friend gave us a few eggs for my broody (only 1 hatched) she thinks the chivk is a lavender female but it's only about 3 days old today. My friend has a mixed color Orpington flock.

I'm just trying to figure out what i might expect to be able to hatch from a lavender rooster and a lavender hen (if that's what the chick is). I don't expect then to all be lavender but like with the blues, you get some blue some black, is the lavender about the same as if i had 2 blue?

The first pic is the rooster (cockerel)
The second is the chick

Lavender bred to lavender yields all lavender chicks.

I have a Lavender rooster & 1 lavender hen, 2 buff hens & will be getting some chocolate hens. I know lavender rooster & lavender hen will get me lavender chicks, but what will a lavender rooster & the buff & chocolate get? Thanks!

To get lavender offspring, both parents have to be lavender, or at least carrying the lavender gene. So the lavender over buff or chocolate would probably give black offspring, but they would be split for lavender and could be mated back to produce more lavenders.

I can send you some lavender eggs, if you ever want to hatch some.

If he is double barred, you will get all barred chicks (males will be single barred). If he is single barred, half will be solid black, half will be barred. But any offspring will carry lavender gene.

I really dont know if he is double barred

Any good pictures of lavender roosters bred with Buff Polish, Brahma, Easter eggers, Silver Spangled Wyandotte, Barr Rock or Austrolorps?

If he is double barred, you will get all barred chicks (males will be single barred). If he is single barred, half will be solid black, half will be barred. But any offspring will carry lavender gene.

Also
He looks like he has single NN gene so half chicks would be naked necks.
