Ok, I'm sorry if this has been asked on this forum before but I'm only on page 52 and I've been reading for 2 days now lol. Anyhow....I just seperated my Lav split pair to their own coop. Its only been about 10 days. The coop they were in, had a Blue Silkie Roo. I already asked the question about how long I should wait to incubate the splits eggs so I know exactly what the eggs are and the answer was 3-4 weeks. But a friend wants some chicks so I thought I can incubate the eggs I'm getting now for her. So my question is.......IF I were to incubate those eggs now (from the split pair) would I be able to tell at hatch the difference between the 'split mating' and the Blue/split mating? I understand I can get 25% Black, 25% Lav and 50% split that'll look black...BUT will I be able to tell the Blue apart? If I happen to get a Lav out of them I'd love to keep it. I'm going to continue reading now! Thanks!

blue to lavender splits???? I wouldn't suggest that IMO if you are. I mean no disrespect.​

I'd only use Black and Lavender and keep your blues separate.
