Probably Lavender Orpington x Cream Legbar.

I agree with the others, and, you know she’s a pullet, because the cream Legbar would throw all barred sons.

Where can I read more about this type of genetics?

This is a good link to start with. http://www.edelras.nl/chickengenetics/mutations1.html

This link is more complex, but it helped me to make sense of chicken color patterns in general. It all depends on what you already understand about genetics http://brianreederbreeder.blogspot....x=2014-02-26T21:58:00-08:00&max-results=7&m=1

This one starts out with basic genetics terms, and should probably have come first, but if you already know the basics, then my first two links jump right to the chicken parts. https://www.google.com/amp/s/poultr...anatomy/poultry-genetics-an-introduction/?amp
