It is pretty addictive to play with. I don't understand all the genotype/phenotype stuff, but the pick a color shortcut is pretty handy.

If you intend on working on an isabel porcelain project, it will take at least two generations to get the lav to show on the buff.

F1 buff x lav would produce 100% Heterozygous (split) lav birds. Phenotypically, they would look as though they were black x buff. The birds would range from smutty buffs to almost black with gold in the hackles and saddles of males and on the breasts and hackles of females. F2 (breeding f1xf1) would produce 25% lav, 50% het lav, 25% non lav. The het lavs and non lavs will look identical in that they are not visually expressing the lav gene, so it would be impossible to determine which of those birds are carrying the gene. Breeding f1 back to the lav parent, you will get 50% lav, 50% het lav. The birds expressing the lav gene will look similar to many isabel porcelains.

I do not intend to work on an Isabel Porcelain project. I intend to work on a dark buff project. That is why I am trying to sell this guy. He is too light for my project needs AND I have two additional (darker) cockerels from this batch.

I only intended to sell a buff silkie cockerel with this thread. Anybody want a sweet buff cockerel?

Didn't mean to confuse, that was directed toward SilkieTime who had asked how he would go with their lav hen.

That bird is a nice buff and looks like it will mature into a great bird, whoever gets him will have a very good bird on their hands
