the saddle and hackles on a lavender are the same color as the rest of the body. lavenders are not 2 toned like blue's are. the saddle feathers are there and they are hard to see without enlarging the pic

Sometimes the lavs don't have excellent feather quality, either... that might be contributing to what you're able to easily see. Were those your only lavenders?

I ordered eggs from a breeder and ordered 6 Lav and 6BBS. I had 3 Lavs hatch, 3 blues, and 2 blacks. I sold 1 black and 1 lav. The lav I sold probably was the only female.
