Self Blue (Lavender) Silkie Thread

[Stef82]

I love your roo. Wonderful even coloring! Nice type and wings. Great beard. SG's are adorable!

Thank you very much. He's so pretty and his ladies are just sweet. They also make BEAUTIFUL babies. I have about a dozen in the incubator. I have eggs due to hatch the first week of April. I had a white hen in there with them and he bred her. I haven't seen any Lavender/white crosses. Has anyone seen any?

White carries so many hidden genes you never know what you'll get.

This is Sookie my beautiful Roo. He hatched from a Paint coop. Would you say he was lavender or Splash?

I could go either way on this. How old is he?

Just came across this thread and wanted to see if anyone else with lavender silkies could help me out. I have a lavender split blue roo and I'd like to find a hen or two that would be a good breeding match as far as color goes. I started out a year ago with chickens and my first two silkies were white. I purchased this roo after the fact. One of white hens went broody over Christmas last year and hatched out three chicks. They are a weird mix of color (Dark with a "splash" of white) and I obviously don't want to continue hatching from this pair. I was told maybe try to find a lavender hen? That will be difficult for me so I'm thinking of trying to find someone who would ship lavender chicks or hatching eggs. Anyone else have any thoughts as to what would be a good color to breed to this roo? I know nothing about about color genetics.
