Not a chance. You see Porcelain are recessive Lavender and Recessive mottling so those features are set now.

Ohh, okay. I see. Thanks! So could I get solid buff and porcelain from porcelain x buff?

Yes

Uh-huh. Could I get lavender if the buff carries the gene?

How can you tell whether a bird is silver/silver or gold/gold (for females)? Is it like a one size fits all kind of thing? Or is it harder to tell on some birds?

Females can only be Silver/- or Gold/-, But Silver Females can also be Red Enhanced. e allele will also play a powerful effect. For example Wheaten. Silver Wheaten hens will show alot of gold tones

Amberlink hens, eWh/eWh, Co/Co, S/-, Mh/mh+

So are Welsummer hens Gold/-? I assume that red sexlink hens are that too? And how about Leghorns?
