What might they look like?

My Lavender orpington roosters have been rooming in with my Light Sussex/Coronation flock for the past few days due to the cold weather. I was thinking about incubating a few of the eggs just for fun. Anyone done this cross before or have and opinion on what might result from this crossing. The Sussex are all recessive for Coronation. I am curious to see if any of the offspring would be solid Lavender.

you should incubate them and find out.... report back with pictures!

Since the Extended black from the Lav Orps overrides mostall of the pattern genes the first generation offspring would be mostly solid but may have a little leakage but for the most part .

Lav O X Light = Solid Black ( split for lav)

Lav O X Coro = Solid Lav

Lav O X Split Coro = half solid black splits and half solid lavs

Cool I will definitly hatch some out, should have an incubator free in the next couple of days.

In theory could I eventually create a Lavender Sussex by breeding back to the Sussex?
