Dont think you will get your lavender olive eggers in a first generation hatch. Lavender is a recessive gene, meaning for it to show the chick must have tak copies of the lavender gene- one from Mom and one from dad. Now if you take that firat generation and cross them back to either each other or their lavender parent (so the males back to their mom) then in the next hatch from that breeding you woyld get a small portion of lavender chicks. Then grow from their. But lavender has to come from both parents to show. Both must actually be lavender or both must be split to lavender, meaning they are actually another color but carry the single gene recessively. Anyways...good luck! Very interesting!
