Dominant Bl = Lavender?
Guest:
Well said. Can someone post a close-up of lavender?
Ok, does a blue wheaten have lacing on the blue? (which mine did not). Can they lav gene be present along with the BL? Interestingly, I had a fighting hen that has been a major contributor to my flock. I guess down a long road she could have been carring this lav gene.
My blues are so distinctly different from what I have thought is lavender (no lacing and the feather is different texture).
I\'ve been to the website and it truely was a \"genetics for dummies\" treat. I\'ll put the APA \"Standards\" on my Valentine\'s list.

Go to the thread \"Advise concerning a new ameraucana breed\" and look at near the bottom of the second page. There is a good picture of a Lavender/self blue belgian D\'Anver cock.

Then compare to the pictures of blue in the following thread at the ABC Sharing Place which contains a set of pictures from the national meet.

There is a clear difference between a lavender/self blue and an Andalusian blue. If we get some decent light this weekend I will try to get a picture of a lavender/self blue next to an Andalusian blue.
It is possible to have a bird that carries both lavender/self blue and Andalusian blue genes.

Although she may, I doubt it. Lavender isn\'t very common, from my experience, and very rare in LF in this country. Please post a photo of her, or send one to me and I\'ll post it for you if you don\'t have the capabilities.
I would guess she is a blue that lacks lacing or good lacing and that is common. I would guess a lav/splash cross would look splash since a lav/black cross looks black and black and splash are co-dominate genes.
Yes, the blue part of a blue wheaten should the same as a blue.

I managed to get a photo last night, although poor, showing a blue, what I\'m guessing is lavender and a splash. I hope you can see both the lavender and splash have splashes of color(grey/black). So what are they
