Purple Spalding, nice!

Lookin' good FBC!!! Is the plan to have a finer wire mesh on the bottom? Sorry if I'm jumping ahead a little.

Possible hat your new hen has some Spalding in her if her neck colour is on her upper back as well. Spaldings tend to show a lot more colour in the hens than a typical blue. Just a thought.

Never hurts to try and hatch it, unless you have limited bator space.

Multiple males can fertilize the eggs of a single hen, as sperm can remain in a hn for more than two weeks.

I'd bet on BS

I would still just call him white, the IB is for your own knowledge if you decide to breed him to any of the other colours.

The first whites I ever had were ones I had hatched from blue parents. I had no idea the parents were both split to white until their first chick came out bright yellow!

Eyes will be pure white, and at the right angle, you'll be able to discern the actual eye part. As far as I know, breeding two solid white parents has never resulted in any coloured chicks
