Porcelain color

Lavender is a diluter of pigment and is recessive. When split, the black/red is dominant so, it will look mille. When two copies of the lavender gene are present, it will show lavender.

NO EMUS!!!!

Nope, that will just end up giving you lavender mottleds, got to have that millie to make porcelain. As mentioned, lavender is a diluter, so you have to have that red body of the millie to be diluted by the lavender to get the tannish color of the porcelain, if that makes sense?

Correct me if I am wrong. Isn't porcelain the deluter to make blue mille?

Porcelain is lavender (self blue) diluted mille fleur.

Actually mottled/lavender produce black and mottled chicks that can be bred together to produce lavender mottled.

So theres really no way to get porcelain without having either mille or porcelain already right? I just really liked porcelain but dont like D'uccles, was trying to get a bigger porcelain bird. Oh well.

Hey Aimee
I just figured out who you were. Sharpe huh. I am still a littled confused about porcelain. What should I get when I breed my blue mille's together?
