If it’s listed as a true blue (a type of EE), are you sure it’s lavender?

Sorry, it actually says self blue.

Ah, that makes more sense.
What did you mean by an even more beautiful bird? Something involving lavender?

Nothing in particular. Just something different. Want to know what eggs to let hatch.
Have a blue hen, Leghorn, BCM and thinking about adding an extra hen.

Since lavender is recessive, you won’t get any lavenders in the first generation unless you cross to another chicken that has lavender, such as an isabel leghorn, porcelain d’uccle, etc. However, any chicks of a self blue ameraucana will carry lavender, so will produce lavender offspring if crossed back to the lavender parent or to each other.
Self blue ameraucanas are genetically black with two copies of the lavender gene. First generation crosses with a non-lavender chicken will probably result in black or mostly black offspring.
