That's who I got them from. The eggs are rather porous though, we'll see.

Oh, I didn't think she had the lavender's yet. No pricing on her website for them.

The chicken calculator is not german.
If anything it was dutch. It is in english.

Also note the remark at the top of the page that it has moved.

blue splash male X lavender female = F1 blue offspring

F1 blue offspring X lavender female = BC1 are platinum ( blue/lavender) offspring, black offspring, lavender offspring, blue offspring

BC1 platinum X BC1 platinum= some splash lavender birds- they would be the near white adult birds

I have to get a good book on chicken genetics!

What happens when you cross platinum to lavender? Do they still retain the splash markings?

That to me just seems like a big 'ol mess...

It started to make my head hurt just reading it.
