You will get Black or Blue. All children will be split to lavender. No Splash because both parents have to carry Blue to have Splash. F2 (second generation) crossed back to the blue father can give you Splash from the Blue girls. Lavs are two copies of lavender over black. Have fun.

Blue x lav is not a recommended cross. They are two different genes. Lavender (lav) is recessive and needs two copies to show, Blue is incomplete dominant and shows with one copy. Black is no copies of Blue - but CAN hide one copy of lav. Lavender and splash can look the same - although the...

Thank you. Not sure what is wrong yet.

As Ron already said - that is not quite true. White x Blue does not make the blue lighter. The percentages are per each chicken - you have a 50% of getting the blue egg gene/or not. Not per batch - so no - no half and half there. White x green does NOT equal blue.. or brown.. it equals...

Hmmph! I have said it before and I will say it again - Northern California is a State of Mind. I lived in Mountain Ranch for 8? 9? years. Its Northern California!

Yup, she will be surprised when her "girls" turn into boys.. because Silkies are not easy to sex at that young an age. You can guess - but that's all it is - a guess. And unless you have raised a lot of that "strain" so you know how they act and what they do - they can fool you. The beak, the...

Really not fair to put Partridge, Silkies and Blue Eggs in the same sentence... just not fair! I think I have two girls here and two boys. Black and Blue look like girls, Blue and what is called "Calico" but what I call Silver Partridge with BAD leakage are boys. Are you still interested in...

Snow here, just below 2000 feet. Finger test says over 3" and its still falling, but very lightly. I don't like it because I loose my satellite internet and that is on the side of the roof, hard to clean off. My friend pestered me for snow pictures and I didn't want to go outside. I only...

Thank you for the warning, I don't need collapsed runs here either, and it rarely gets snow below 2000 feet. I am below 2000 feet, just barely...

Happy Thanksgiving everybody!

Combs have the most blood sources so they bleed pretty heavily when torn. Hopefully it has already stopped. If not - try some superglue.

Be careful - not all hens will accept all colors of babies. I have three that are prejudiced on the colors. My Blue Silkie hen does not like E based chicks (Black penguin - Sumatra). My Black Sumatra will kill any chicks that are NOT E based (she killed 3 Silver Phoenix before I moved the...
