What is a black/lav split?

[extraordinaryfowl]

I it a black bird with one lavender gene?

 

[danhonour]

Yes.A black bird that carries the lavender gene hidden as a recessive,and is capable of producing more lavenders if bred to another lavender or to another split.

What would that look like written?

Quote:
E/E Ml/Ml S/S(or s+/s+ if based on gold instead of dominant Silver). Lav+/lav(capital L because is dominant and "+" plus sign because is found on the wildtype red jungle fowl, every gene that is found in them is "+")

you need another split lavender bird if you want to hatch some lavenders.(25%) or a Full lavender bird to hatch 50% lavender.
