Lavender Sussex CROSS Coronation Sussex

[JinHayabusa]

1-Hello guys i can’t find right genes at Chicken Calculator,
i m thinking to breed Lavender and coronation sussex(self blue) together.
will it be genetic mess and mixed birds?
2- how can i add new bloods to Lavender Sussex.
i know i can add Light Sussex to Coronations

I am in the US, and no, we do not have lots of Lavender Sussex. Lavender Orpingtons are the most common breed with that color, and they've been bred into a few different breeds, but I've never seen Lavendar Sussex, and Coronations are pretty hard to find as well.

İ know more than 10 lavender based coronation breeder at US, i thought there is Lavender sussex too. But Lav sussex is really populer at AUS right now

It will be a genetic mess and mixed birds. Some lavender birds with silver leakage.
You could breed in black Australorps or black Sussex (if black Sussex exist.) It’s more ideal not crossbreeding, but it could be necessary.

thanks, i won’t cross them then. But i don’t know how to introduce new blood to them, because i will get them 14.000 km far away for 1 time. İ can easily introduce new bloods to coronations, light sussex is quite common.
another question:
how can i make white leg Lavender Sussex
is there any Lavender sussex with white legs. they are against sussex standarts

Australorp legs are technically white, they just have epidermal melanin making them black. Same with Lavender Sussex. It is possible to have white legs on a black bird if it is birchen or partridge based, but this will make the plumage too light. But it’s impossible for lavender Sussex since they are probably extended black based. Better to standardize dark legs.

First pic Orp, second Sussex. Original Orpington looking bigger and floffy than lavender ones

Yes, that’s because most lavender Orpingtons are hatchery quality. If they were “real” Orpingtons they would be bigger and fluffier, but since they’re usually hatchery quality, they are probably smaller than your Sussex.

I'm confused, isn't lavender and self-blue the same thing? And I thought coronation was lavender/ self blue. Did I read something wrong?

Yes they are samething. Americans using "self blue" word. Australians using "Lavender". Lavender sussex and Coronation sussex both carry 2 lav gene. But i don't know why lavender sussex have full body coloured

Also, United kingdom breeding Coronation sussexs with Blue gene

I don’t like the term “self blue” because it could mean either lavender or blue without any lacing. Genetic accuracy could save people a lot of trouble, and I feel like they should change “self blue” to lavender in the Standard.

I completely agree with that.
