I have my lav pullet with my mille roo (cochins). Have some eggs in the bator, due to hatch TODAY actually. Fun fun

I didn't plan on this, but my lav roo was such poor quality I didn't want to use him to make anything. So I stuck the hen in with my mille pair and wha la. Mille/Lav crosses.......

im new the the porcelain color and had a genetics Q, I have 2 porcelain d'uccle pullets (10 months) in my D'uccle breeding pen (the rest are all mille fleur color, 2 roos included) and have just started to hatch a few eggs from this group. I just hatched this chick (photos below) from the group pictured, and am fairly certain after looking at photos that it is a porcelain, does this color breed true? as in it will be an actual porcelain not a strange mixed color?

porcelain X porcelain = porcelain
porcelain x mille fleur = mille fleur split to lavender
porcelain X mille fleur split to lavender = 50% porcelain, 50% millefleur split to lavender

mille fleur X mille fleur = mille fleur
mille fleur X mille fleur split to lavender = 50% mille fleur, 50% mille fleur split to lavender
mille fleur split to lavender X mille fleur split to lavender = 25% porcelain, 25% mille fleur, 50% mille fleur split to lavender

Are you saying lavender silkie hen to mille fleur cochin roo? Or vise versa or does it matter?? How many generations before they
look like a silkie again? Won't they just look like mutts if you no what I mean?
I am trying to learn all this genetics stuff and boy can it get confussing!!! and you are my goo roo. LOL!!
Ok I was just reading this again and they are wanting to no how to get this color in the cochin so does this apply to silkie
or no?

thank you sonorasilkies, i will write that down for future reference!

what does a mille fleur split to lavender look like?

if i grow out several of these mille fleur split to lavender colored ones (im hatching more d'uccle eggs, odds are ill get some more like this, which i will keep for myself) and

a) bred them together, so mille fleur split to lavender X mille fleur split to lavender = 25% porcelain, 25% mille fleur, 50% mille fleur split to lavender
b) bred a mille fleur split to lavender cockeral back to the 2 original porcelain hens, so 50% porcelain, 50% millefleur split to lavender
c) bred a mille fleur split to lavender to a mille fleur, so 50% mille fleur, 50% mille fleur split to lavender

each example is slight inbreeding, as my breeding group consists of 2 porcelain pullets, 2 unrelated MF roosters, 2 MF Hens, 2 MF pullets (daughters of the 2 hens and 1 rooster).
