Yes you NEED to post photos! I only have 8 of my splits left I kept! I cant wait until I can put them in their breeding pen though so their feathers can grow back nicely! poor feet feathering has taken a beating freeranging!

Ahhh not the Splits!!!! Start up the grill we are having Birchen Rooster. Keep those split hens with that Lavender Rooster and you Split Roosters with Split hens.

After weeks of guessing and waiting I think I am finally able to say I'm about 98% sure I have a lavender.

Here it is. Going through the uglies currently. I expect it to be a real cutie once it gets all it's feathers. lol

Glad to finally be able to say I have one. Don't matter to me if it's a rooster or a hen. It's a keeper.

Glad you said that... The two males I bought have slight darker feathers. One more than the other, but the girl I have is clear. And they definitely don't have Blue or Splash traits. I have a third male that is an even color, with no splash marks, but is a slightly darker hue... would he be just a darker color of Lavender??? anyone? My first chicks from my Lavenders are hatching... SO CUTE...
I think it would be safer for people that are worried to sell anything as a split unless you keep them to maturity or know their offspring will be Lavender. The color is beautiful... Bren, yours are just stunning.... I want some when the weather is better.
