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

Thank you!

I have enjoyed looking at everyone's Silkies and I have learned a lot about the breed just by reading this thread.
