Some breeding questions.

[Jferlisi]

So i know some stuff about breeding and but there is still some things i have questions on. So i have a lavender ameraucana hen and a black ameraucana roo and a Lavender split ameracauna roo. I would like to start a project on getting a lavender flock going. I dont know if my black is a split or not cause i haven't hatched from them yet. So my question is how should i breed them to get more lavenders? Should i breed they black to the lav and get splits, and breed a few of those hens to my split? Then take a roo from them and breed him back to my lavender hen and keep a few lavenders? I believe the chart would be better of an explanation of what i would like to do.

i breed my lavender hen to ur split rooster for a while then switch and breed from ur black rooster that way u get lavender this year and then 1\\2 related splits for later

Ok but would they still be far enough apart in genetics that i can still breed them?
