Need some help with orpington genetics!!!

[DUCKGIRL89]

What would I get if I bred a Lavender Orpington rooster, to a blue Orpingoton hen? Would I get half and half?? (

) Or would I get all of one color? (

) I have a hen and am having no luck getting my hands on a blue roo, but I have a chance to get a lavender roo. Please tell me what you think.

Lavender is a recessive gene, so none of the offspring would be lavender; however, all would carry one copy of the gene. Assuming that the lavender is built on a black bird, paired with a blue you should get about half and half blacks and blues. However, if you breed the offspring back to the lavender or to each other you will get some birds that are both lavender and blue, and that is generally regarded as less than desirable.
