I also cannot tell whether she has barring or mottling, or maybe even both. That is what is difficult on very light hued birds with white markings

Barring has white striped that cross the feather horizontally; crisp stripes are referred to as barred, fuzzy ones as cuckoo. Mottling is where the tip of the feathers have a white spot, as if that feather tip was dipped into white paint (or bleach

)

Yes, I had the bird as a chick. She is one of the yellow chicks.

Looks like a very light Blue Barred Orpington and not a Lavender Barred or Lavender Mottled.

Thank you, scbatz33 ! Spish, I'm sorry. I didn't intend to cut in. Everyone's knowledge and experience was irresistable. MareeZoCool, I wasn't sure if your comment was for me, and thank you if it was!

spish,
You could PM tadkerson on here and see what he thinks.
He is a brain when it comes to poultry genetics.
