LOVE the pictures!!!! I wish it was nice enough to put mine outside... I plan on moving south to may Georgia. I have some friends down there and the weather is far more conducive tp SIlkies. I can't handle this winter stuff all by myself.​

Yes, I was referring to gold leakage from the cross to a partridge. Some lines of black have a lot of leakage, others very little, but in either, a cross to partridge would almost certainly reduce melanizers that help prevent leakage.

This is an example of a black with gold leakage (from a cross Black X Partridge)

When you put over this one the lavender than all the black become lavender and that gold become some kind of cream-gold.
 
Beth G. :

Sorry Sonoran I guess we will have to agree to disagree b/c I've been breeding lavenders for the past 4 yrs and never had the leakage you speak of.

That really depends on the e-allele of the lavender bird (getting black). You certainly will not get lavender offspring in the first crossing unless the other parent also suppplies a gene to the offspring. Leakage is likely, even if the bird IS black.
​

This is an example of a lavender with (diluted) leakage of red-pigment next to a non-leaking lavender

remarke also the lighter chest because of lack of black-pigment there (when there is no black it can also not be diluted ;-)
