Thanks! I assumed it was something like that - sort of the appearance of "creeping" over the ground, rather than walking. It's still going to make me laugh every time I read it though!

Still no takers on the color of my pullet? blue/splash

The hen is not a splash but is really light for a blue. As long as she has no pure white in her plumage it's not a DQ. The roo looks like a golden laced with a bit too much black... you should enter and at least get feedback from the judge, it's the best way to learn and know what to breed for.

What color is the shaft of the primaries on the underside of the wing?

The reason I ask is that she looks to be a Self-Blue (lavender) Cochin. Although she does show some semblance of lacing and the Self-Blues generally don't. What color are the tops and bottoms of her feet?

I bought her through a hatchery as a blue so I don't think she is lavender. I will check her feet and under her wings tommorrow, Thanks.

There are a couple of breeds, Japs being one, who have really short legs. The gene for this is called creeper, as is the condition. FWIW, it is a lethal gene.

No, she definitely looks blue, not lavender, aka self-blue.
