Our black and self blue Silkies are hatching split to lavender chicks — and they are adorable. For those wondering, “split” means these babies carry the lavender gene, even though they don’t show the color themselves. They’ll look black, but pair them right and you can hatch lavender beauties in the future. A reminder that sometimes the best surprises are hiding in plain sight! ✨ #SilkieChickens #PoultryGenetics #LavenderSilkies #ChickenBreeding #BackyardChickens | Red Barn Silkies
