Silkie thread!

Ok, here is an updated pic of my mystery color. Everyone said Porcelain before, does it still look porcelain? It has a nice light blue underfluff. And still hoping it still turns out to be a girl

. T'Pol is now 4 months old now. And I don't think she came out to bad for being a hatchery chick!

It does look like a dark porcelain or a very light blue partridge. Unusual and beautiful color!

One parent would be lavender and one any other color.

So if you breed a split lavender back to a lavender, you would OR could get lavender chicks?

 

[chisNchickens]

Yes, I had one from CJ. It is a gray aka silver partridge.

ETA: I was replying to Basel regarding her gray chick - she asked if anyone else had one like hers. Didn't hit quote.

Yes. For instance if you breed a lav to a black lav split you will get black and lavender. I am no genetics whiz...need Sonoran for that.

Lav to lav/split gives you 50% lavender (self-blue).

That's what I figured.
I have a blue hen that had been advertised as lavender. When I went to pick her up, it was obvious that she was NOT a lavender. She is an obvious blue. I'm wondering if she's a lav/split instead. I guess I'll find out if I can get my hands on a lavender rooster.

So cool! This is actually just the color I wanted!

Love it. Thanks.


Do you have any pictures of yours?

Would love to see him/her.

 

[TAMMACLEAN]

Thank you. I'm so glad you had a good hatch from her. I'd love to see your chicky pics!

That buff chick in the corner is really red! Is it really that bright red in color?

No. It's more of a buff color. I think it just looks that way cause it's on the red board.
