It means if you breed to of those birds together, a percentage will be pure lavenderWhat does the phrase, "They will be split for lavender" mean? I'm trying to learn more about genetics. TIA!

Lavender is a recessive gene so it takes two copies to show. If a bird has one copy it won't show. You can't tell it has it by looking at the bird.What does the phrase, "They will be split for lavender" mean? I'm trying to learn more about genetics. TIA!
They aren’t lavender, they’re just splash.first pic are my 2 English lavender splash hens. The roo initially had irridescent dark purple splash on him.
The second picture shows a lavender splash hen pullet next to a white breese bred pullet. Pullets are 70 days old here. The splash is definitely not white.
Well if they are not lavender why do they have pink eggs and lavender chicks, as well as splash chicks, but no black or blue orpingtonsThey aren’t lavender, they’re just splash.
Post picture of these "lavender" chicks. Splash x Splash equals all splash chicks, so you wouldn't get any blue or black if you bred them. Egg color has nothing to due with feather color.Well if they are not lavender why do they have pink eggs and lavender chicks, as well as splash chicks, but no black or blue orpingtons
Pink eggs aren’t specific to lavenders, and if the chicks look the same as the parents, they’re splash too. Splash x splash shouldn’t produce blues or blacks.Well if they are not lavender why do they have pink eggs and lavender chicks, as well as splash chicks, but no black or blue orpingtons
