Ah yes, these charts have been my best friends as I begin to dip my toes in the very basics of genetics. I was not aware that blue could vary so heavily from bird to bird. Thank you so much! The two EE's were sold to me as lavender orps.... pullets too.... Once I recieved them the lady insisted they were girls and would not take them back even though they were obviously boys. I had given her the benfit of the doubt that she meant lavender EE's not orps... but clearly they weren'y lavender at all! Thank you again!The shade of blue can vary from one bird to another, even within the same breed.
Lavender have to come from other lavenders or black split to lavender birds. Blue follows blue/black/splash and does breed true.
I am sure you have seen these charts before:
