my friend get these out her blue/black\\splash pen some times

What color do they turn out to be? My blue/lav splits are supposed to hatch 50% lav, 25% blue, and 25% blue/lav split...at least that was what I was told when I bought them. I'm confused!!

they should but people add things to there lavenders to get other colors like porslens or add in blue to partridge to ge blue partrdge

I have run into this with the 'porcelains'. In the lav I also get diluted stripes and they feather in lav, and some of the splits are gray. I've been trying to get rid of this by keeping only the solid splits, and marking chicks that should pattern in chick down if they are lav. It's a pain.

Don't worry, my hen was giving me little nips every time I picked her up.

Shows can be so overwhelming to the birds. And us! My girlie was in the 'section' in front of yours, underneath two nice whites (She's a black). I was very taken with those awesome buffs! Very nice birds.

But they seriously messed up the caging this time...Did you notice how out of order the cage numbers were? I was number 19 and was underneath like number 57.

All of the Silkie colors were all messed up. I was the only black in the section! It was crazy!

Trying to think here…was yours the one that someone in a white lab coat was at her cage???? Was this yours or was yours a different one? I remember a cute little black one that I was watching a girl in a white lab coat handle and I couldn’t figure out if she was sick, or she got hurt or something. Was this you? That is the only little black one I can remember by itself like that.
LOL…being my first show, I didn’t know the cages should have been different!

But I did wonder why the colors weren’t together for all of them. Yes, the buffs were gorgeous and so were the whites!! I would love to have whites but I know I could never keep mine that white!!! I had a hard time with my splash girl and trying to get her feet & beard clean!

I think that mod will come in handy

Looks good but make sure to add something to prop the doors open that won't slip or get taken by the wind. I made that mistake and got clobbered a couple times by the flip roof on one of my coops. lol!
