Lavender shredding gene

How soon can you tell if a lavender (self blue) has a shredder gene? I'm assuming mine all do, but I want to make surebefore I move extras along that I'm not getting rid of possible nonshredded.

What color would be best to use to make splits? I'm assuming black? These are bantam Cochins
It’s a learning morning. I got curious about the scientific basis of the ‘split’ gene and my ‘scientist’ husband, who does a lot genetic research stuff was right on it. He likes it when he can contribute legitimate input to my crazy feathered obsessions. 😄

(He didn’t delve into it, but said the papers are definitely out there - more schooling saved for another day)
