what would I get if I bred lav silkie to BO hen?

[sonew123]

Well I ask because my lav silkie has been free ranging with my Bo hens and well he "likes" them-anyone have any photos or know what this would look like??? how do you get a lavender Orpington? I know duhh for the experts but Hmmm..for me

Well, lavender is a form of black. If you breed a lav to a buff, I'm not sure what you'll get.

I dont mean to sound dumb but how do they get the coloration of a lavender orpington??? I dont know what I was thinking -I should reword my original question.. SO I really would get a little bird??? ok then Im not going to incubate those buggers!

I just packed the bator away 2 weeks ago for the season--I will pull it back out in February..unless I have black female silkies! I have a few months to wait and see if they are boys/girls....I bated 6 batches this year--little chicked out I am itching again though...
