Is it possible to take a rather sad looking Lavender Orphington who’s has very shredded feathers and cross her back to a black bird and get offspring without that trait? If I crossed that offspring with a lavender again would it just dredge the feather gene up again??
No I was just trying for fun egg colors 😂. I do have a couple of blue Marans hens and someone had said lavender and blue don’t go well together but they didn’t explain. I just want to at least responsible with my barnyard crossing ;)
I’m actually just trying to do Olive Eggers but I’d hate to bring that nasty gene into it. Do you think if I just crossed it to say a Marans or Rhode Island or another OE it would work to get rid of it? It’s just a mini hobby breeding so the offspring is just for me . Thanks for the awesome...
