@NatJ, do you have an opinion on this Malays coloration? Trying to get an answer.
He's off to be lavender, & abit more silvery then blue, he doesn't have any splashing, so not a splash.
I don't know enough about splash to be sure-- does it always have the darker splashes in it? Because two copies of the blue gene (=splash) would make sense, given the light shade and since you know the seller has some blues in the flock.
I don't know anything specific about Malays, and I am not very good at identifying dilution genes because I usually prefer to deal with the brighter, not-diluted colors.
