Ok, I am going to do a mix of colors with my OEGB.

How do you all think the babies will look?

I am hopeing for blue millie fluer.

curious how that turns out, not good on genetics myself but I'm sure someone will lead you in the right direction.

Porcelean? That is pretty much a self blue mottled..

The color would be Porcelain.

Yup, self blue (lav/lav) with mille fleur is porcelain. You can look at our pyncheon pics on our web site for an example of what color your OEGBs may look.

From the first cross the offspring ought to be black with leakage.

There seems to be some difference in terms here.

Porcelain, sometimes known as isobel porcelain looks like this (from internet).

Lavender mottled (aka self blue mottled in US) looks like this (from internet)

And blue mille fleur is like usual mille fleur but with blue replacing the black parts.

Have you got pics of your birds?​

You can't get there from here. Blue and self blue are different genes. The self blue gene, lav, dilutes both black and buff, and your eventual result will be porcelain, like Krys said. If you want to keep the reds and buffs bright and undilute, you want to use a blue or splash. That gene only dilutes the black, and will leave the other colors alone.

They will all carry a single copy of lav and a single copy of mo. Breed them together and a percentage will be lav/lav and mo/mo.
