Does anyone know what colors could come out of crossing self blue rooster with bb red hens? I do know the self blue is lavender gene.

Are there any colors of hens that would create chicks with colors besides black? I have a self blue rooster but I don’t want all black chicks!Self-blue is recessive, so it takes two copies to express. When crossed with another color, they breed like a solid black bird. You will produce mostly black chicks that will be 'split' for self-blue, meaning each chick will have a self-blue gene, but not express the color.
