Hidden genetics?

[lilwanderer]

So I've just hatched a few silkies and satins from my blue/splash pen-
I'm getting blue and splash but 1-2 of the chicks have a brownish tint almost like a mauve?
Both parents don't show chocolate or mauve (At least not to me), they're just look blue and splash. I can ask, and will- The blue roo could be split, but I didn't think hens could be so I'm not sure what she'd be hiding.
Maybe it isn't mauve and something entirely different at play?
Here's the main chick in question:

Some of the others:

this is the other one I'm fishy about:

There's more hatching!
Parents:

Her crest is trimmed, her brown wings I believed was from being in the sun, but maybe not?

Just some extra information, a few months back I hatched eggs off her when she was in with one my lemon blue project cochins- She hatched this weird mauve splash rooster (Could just be rusty blue or a leaky splash, I was told something like that could be at play.)
This is him:

Unfortunately I don't know. Hopefully someone else will.

Wanted to add- I just recently hatch sexlinks from a chocolate orp roo over blue and splash hens and got a sexlinked mauve female- It looks very similar to the mystery silkie I'm asking about:

Your chick in question does look Mauve, & the father does look Chocolate rather then sun bleached Blue.

I'm talking about Dun, not the Sexlinked Chocolate gene.

It is possible that your rooster is carrying one chocolate gene which he could of course pass on to his daughters since it is sex linked. Who did you get them from? Did they have any chocolate, muave, or dun Silkies?

The father is blue- I'll have to find pictures of him as a younger bird, he is just sunbleached.
He either came from a separated bbs pen, or a blue rooster over chocolate/mauve hens, which just makes split cockerels- She's a very responsible breeder.
If he is dun, then she must be mistaking them as blue-

she does but they're in a separate pen- she has a chocolate mauve pen that isn't sexlinked and then a sexlinked chocolate pen.
The splash frizzle came from a different place (don't know her history all that well)
The rooster came from a breeder who I trust quite a lot, beautiful birds- She marks her birds at hatch based of pens, this guy should've been out of her blue/splash pen.
I'll have to ask if there's a chance he's split.

So, update- she told me it's very likely he could be split.
She also told me to her the splash frizzle girl looks to be more of a leaky splash- told me to check for any red feathers on her.
