Black or blue babies carrying lavender

Is she Boss Hen at the Coop? She was pecking on the color changing hen. Was it you recording the video? It seems like you caught a cold but otherwise have a nice voice.

She's one of the head hens, but has never picked on her own daughter until she changed colors.

Yep, me recording the video. I just got over the flu, but getting over a month long sinus infection.

BBS are Extended Black with Dominant blue/splash.

Lavender are Extended Black with recessive lavender.

Splash x Lavender = 100% Blue
Blue x Lavender = 50% Blue, 50% Black
Black x Lavender = 100% Black

Thanks! I had forgotten how they tied into Black, but I did know that once upon a time.

In the first generation, you would just get blues and blacks, but if you cross back to lavender or cross the first generation together, you could get lavender, blue lavender, and splash lavender. Blue lavenders:

Most people see the final or apparent color on the bird. But to understand how it works you must start at the very base and add the mutations on top.

Quite true.

I don't know how people breeding lavenders feel about it, but most people breeding blues try to keep lavender out of their flock because, as a general rule, darker blues are considered more correct/more desirable and because blue should have strong lacing while lavender is paler and has no lacing.
