[nicole camp]

So If you breed a lavender rooster to a chocolate hen what would you get?

All Black Chick.... you see lavender is autosomal recessive (both genders have two copies of gene) and sex linked chocolate is recessive.. Lavender rooster is E/E Choc+/Choc+ lav/lav Chocolate Hen is E/E choc/- Lav+/Lav+ and the resulting cross will be E/E Choc+/choc Lav+/lav all black chicks and adults and hidden recessive choc/ and lav

you can Recreate the British "Mauve" Orps by using a Chocolate Rooster over a normal Splash hen..


this will produce Sexlinked chocolate pullets that are also blue, this mix will produce the Mauve color which is the mix of blue and chocolate on the same bird,,

The offspring turned out black. If you mix a buff and a lavender you get this cute little guy!
