What would you do if you wanted to go for the Isabel coloring? Or even Lavender coloring? ( I don't like partidges lol )

Breed the likliest and clearest together. Breed any really typey ones with partridge pattern to a clear and select the clearest to continue. Don't be surprised if most show the partridge patterning--it's strong.

lol watch them all be boys. That's about my luck usually.

I hope to get some pretty birds out of this. It really is a surprise project that I never had planned on doing. Never even though I would ever own anything that had any lavender in it. And I didnt even know of the Isabel coloration. I wish I had. I love pink. Imagine having a pink'ish silkie. Makes me wanna squeal.

Well, it sounds like to get pink you need to breed lavender to red, not buff--but that is a guess. But since Henk made that guess...give it a LOT of weight.

 

[Sonoran Silkies]

Yes, Chris, a real porcelain is a lavender diluted mille fleur pattern.

[Sonoran Silkies]
