Understanding Orpington Genetics - Buffs, Lavender, Chocolate, Black, White

[Slothinc]

I have no personal experience and no pictures.

I found a page with a table of how various dilution genes interact:
https://kippenjungle.nl/basisEN.htm
Try the section "Consensus and Debate about Chicken Eumelanin Diluters." There's a discussion of all the ones known to that author, and a table showing what happens when a bird has particular combinations (with some question marks where the author of the page isn't sure either.) I use ctrl + F to "find" the right part in the page instead of reading the whole thing.

Thank you!! On the chart it looks like the result would be lavender. But I’m just guessing it probably will be “lavender” over a brown base, rather than the regular lavenders. I don’t have any plans to do this, but might end up with some cockerels which carry both chocolate and lavender so I guess there could be some potential to have both diluters in my flock in the future.
