what do you mean?

Okay What would I get from a Lav split with splash hen from a Blue partridge split to lav roo? Would the chicks have leakage when they grow up. If so could I breed it out of them?

Crossing possibilities

black to blue = black and blue

black to splash= all blue

black to lavender = black

black ( split or heterozygous for lavender) to black= black

black ( split or heterozygous for lavender) to lavender = lavender and black

black ( split or heterozygous for lavender) to black ( split or heterozygous for lavender)= black and lavender

blue to lavender= black and blue

blue (split or heterozygous for lavender) to lavender = black, blue and lavender ( you could get birds that are blue and lavender)


blue to blue = black, blue and splash

blue (split or heterozygous for lavender) to blue (split or heterozygous for lavender)= blue, black, splash, and lavender (you could get birds that are blue and lavender or splash and lavender)

This is an interesting cross and would produce a ratio of 6 blue :3 black : 3 splash : 1 lavender : 2 blue and lavender: 1 splash and lavender)

blue to splash= splash and blue


blue (split or heterozygous for lavender) to splash= splash and blue


blue (split or heterozygous for lavender) to splash(split or heterozygous for lavender) = splash, blue, splash/lavender and blue/lavender

I may have missed a few possibilities but I think I have most of them.
Hope this helps

Great imput for my notebook!!

X2! Thanks!

I thought it was you Floridachicken1958 that gave me the crossing possibilities, but I had accedentally deleted them when I was trying to save them while I was holding the baby. (I'm going to blame it on being overly tired not being careless...

...) Thanks again!!

I still can't wait to see what a white roo x blue gets me!

This is a quote I put in my notebook from a knowledgeable person on this site:
"White is usually always recessive in silkies, thats why you
can really never predict what you will get from crossing with White Silkies."

Thank you! That's what I thought from trying to read as much as I can about my babies. We are getting my oldest son a SQ blue this Thursday & then hopefully a few other colors when we go to the swaps in October & January. (I am officially a LITTLE obsessed. lol...)

I'm happy to report that I have at least half of the 3 dozen silkie eggs I picked up last week on my way to Philadelphia that are developing at day 5. Yippee.

I couldn't see in all the eggs, some were very porus, which probably means they won't hatch, but half of 3 dozen is enough! Can't wait...
IQ, BBS, 1 calico, a couple of buffs & a few black/lav splits. Anvd, I think a couple of Partridge...
