    Lavender and chocolate splits genetics question

    Okay, so I ran into a question that stumped me. I wanted to breed some splits for my chocolates and my lavender orpington flocks, and thought I'd be clever and instead of putting a black orpington in with them, I'd just mix the lavender and chocolates.

    I have a buff orpington chick who has some really heavy color dilution on the top, & secondaries of her wings, & it's almost white. How common is this type of thing, & will it go away as she matures? Better Pictures coming tomorrow. Here's a couple I took today.
