4:45 Lavender (lav) is NOT a lethal gene. It is associated with a gene termed “shredder” that causes very bad feather texture. You can breed lavender birds together just fine. The traditional wisdom is to cross a line of lavenders back to black birds to improve the feather quality. These split for lavender birds (Lav+/lav) should not be used in a black breeding line as you can contaminate the black line with the ”shredder” gene.
3:47 Throughout the video + should designate wild type, or a lack of a mutation, lav+ for lavender is incorrect, lav is correct and Lav+ is the lack of the gene. Thank you Doug
very helpful video, thank you!!
What about crossing a buff orpington and a black orpington you never covered the buff breeding

Hoa alguno que me pueda ayudar con la info en el 7:36 Laceado de Orpintong
I love how you say chocolate.
How i can get pure white . I have pakistani assel fighting hen
IF silver laced orps are crossed with Lavender, will it produce lavender laced orps? will it improve the plumage and foliage?
But both are bad genes to breed . The plumage could be diluted !

How do we get lavender chickens?
When you say lavender x chocolate = 100% lavender. Do you mean a lavender roo with a chocolate hen?
When you say lavender x chocolate = 100% lavender offspring. Do you mean a lavender roo with a chocolate hen? Or a chocolate roo with a lavender hen?
I have crossed Lavender cocks to Chocolate hens. All offspring have been black.
