Yes, if you never got visually WB but you continued to get LBs, then she is probably /Lilac. I'm not sure what you mean by F2 Lilac, do you mean Double Factor? If so - you couldn't guarantee it, because the father is probably Lilac/White - Which means even if the mother is Purple/Lilac, he could still be either DF Lilac or Lilac/White. You'd have to test breed him to determine that.CandoAviary wrote: I am thrilled to know that the PB male offspring are /lilac or /whiteI guess if I don't ever get any WB offsprings I can assume that the hen is /lilac and the male a F2 Lilac?
They would be split for OH, and also split for either White or LilacCandoAviary wrote:Also the hen offsprings are BH PB YB... would they be split to anything? And why the BH while every male LB and PB and dilutes have had OH?
For males to be visually BH, the mother will always need to be visually BH, and the father atleast SF for BH.
But to produce BH females, the father only needs to be SF for BH, it does not rely on the hen's head coloration.
So your OH male must be OH/BH.
This also means that some of your OH males are /BH as well (~50% "statistically" speaking)
This doesn't surprise me, because I would imagine your male from Rhonda probably comes from the same/similar line as my male from her, and his father was BH YTB, this cock was paired to a BH WB Silver hen, and so the male I have from her is BH/OH. But if she paired him to an OH Hen later, then all of the males would be OH/BH
