It will be hard to get away from the solid color. Technically bbs can be treated as black. Breed to a patterned bird and continue from there but using the offspring. Bbs alone to another color won't give you much but leaky bbs. If you can use the chicken calculator it will help guide you in a...

I think I have finally figured that out. Lavender has links to the feather shredder gene and it can transfer it to other colors if the lavender birds have it. It's also said it makes it have inconsistency in the color of the bird I don't believe this much as that's a personal opinion. It's also...

Some have said it's just a bad blue. That its pretty hard to get them even in coloring. So yeah I agree it's not the dreaded bluvender.

I was looking for opinions. From another discussion and some pictures it would seam lavender and blue give feathers like what she has in her tail. Again I'm not sure the discussion was on the chicken color genetics FB group. I have not posted her picture there because of the rudeness of the...

I think this bantam Ameraucana pullet is expressing blue and lavender. Humm sorry if this is a dubble post or something..... it was in the reply box when this tread loaded and I figured it didn't post when I sent it last time.

Game Bird colors are so very interesting.

Also look on Facebook for them. I'm currently looking for blues, buffs and lavender silkies. The only colors of them I like and there for let my friends daughter keep at my house.😆

You would have to build them off of what you get. If they are overly melinised it's would be possible but that would mean terrible quality for what you purchased. Only option would be to hope for a male and have black hens for him and line breed till you get solid lavender down the line. The...

Here is a thread on BYC on Porcelain Silkies. https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/porcelain-silkies-updated-with-pictures.384502/

Buff with lavender should give a color called in other breeds Isabella. This is a creamy color. "Isabella Leghorns are a newer variety of Leghorn that feature pastel shades of cream and blue. Hens are an even pastel blue shade with cream colored hackles and breasts." Let me grab some pictures...

Also lavender is a dilute of black and it's recessive. If you want full self lavender you would need full black birds with two lavender genes.

Porcelain in other breeds is lavender based mille fleur I belive.

Not my rooster, not my pictures. They have been grabbed from a facebook group on chicken color genetics. Any thoughts as to what could be going on here?

Mine too! Very glad the others are still working.

Seams to only be effecting the cross breed chicken calculator.

Didn't make a difference for me wether it was desktop or phone. That first link is working w/pictures for me.

Has anyone ells noticed that the gene calculator for chickens is missing pictures now?

Thank you! If I can't find what I want in hatching eggs from an NPIP flock I'll just start with Cackle stock in rosecomb and brassyback OEGB. Don't know what I would do with out this place on the internet.🥰

Oh wait cackle has brassyback OEGBs as well.

Reference pic on rosecomb. If all I have access to is black and blue rosecombs what would I outcross to, to start the process?
