Maybe they will turn out to be a showable color!

I have done that lol my white sg with my lav sire. The chicks all looked like yours and feathered out white with some buff leakage (dont know why) and lav tails. It seems that all that picked up the lav coloring and were not all white are all boys I wonder if yours will be.

She (hopefully) is just 11 weeks old and feathering out nicely. Her coloring is getting darker not lighter?
Picture yesterday.

Picture 4 weeks ago,

getting ready to jump.

Pullet or cockerel?

Nice beard and crest so far. By the way it is standing I'd say pullet because it is not standing proud... Lets hope!

oh I love her dark coloring

here are some pics of the flock. Some are this years and 2009 hatches. I have a few splits that are not at laying age in there as well.

oh and here is one of the lav/white split show girl cockerels I have 3 SG all pretty much the same weird mutt coloring and a silkie. All are boys, I wonder if there is some sort of weird sex link going on. They are all from when I went to break my white sg broody hen and put her with the lav sire for 2 days. He is for sale if anyone is interested he has a huge vaulted scull

acyually they all do I planned to breed them to each other but they are all boys. I might try one with a lav hen just to see what happens. You can see some buff bleeding throughout the white body and lav tail feathers.

here you can see my whites and those lav/white splits together in the white pen
