So this is a bit difficult to word the way I’m trying to ask, so correct me if it makes no sense but I have a bantam Easter egger who has the most beautiful coloring. She’s only about two months old but I’m very curious about her possible genetics. I know Easter Eggers are mixes and hatcheries rarely tell what combos they use so my question is more about her color. Im posting pictures below but my question is basically is there a way to tell if her coloring would technically be a type of blue or a type of lavender by appearance? Her color is primary evenly distributed but she may have a few flakes of darker color in her feathers that I’m overlooking.
If not would my best bet be to wait and breed her to a lavender once she’s mature? I read that lavender breeds true, so technically if I bred her to a lavender and their offspring were 100% lavender could I say for sure she was a lavender then? And if not would I consider her a blue? (I’d like to add her legs are slate)
Pics of her as a chick
Pics of her now (excuse the first one her face was a lil dirty from eating off a chicken snack block)
