I’m trying to understand.
Just learning about Orpington genetics.
I have a Lav Roo who has a great personality and after a few bad Roos we want to keep him for now.
I have 2 lav hens with not the best feathering.
And hatching out some blue/ lav / chocolate… these chicks were covered by either a lav or chocolate Roo.
I have a name of someone to write next spring for some blacks… which I fully understand are important.
But what happens if we hatch out some next spring from my mix of lav/ blue or chocolate? Is it just a don’t keep certain colours or any bred back to lavender work be lavender?
