I recently hatched a random lavender chick!! Or blue.. not sure.... It hatched from eggs from my hens though, so I am 100% sure what breeds I have. 
It's wing feathers seem to be quite a bit lighter than blue, but it is still very young so they may darken up. I believe mine is a roo as I could see a pretty large comb even while it was just hatching lol. Sooo.. my breeds are a Barred Rock roo or a Delaware roo. Hens: 17 White Plymouth rocks with very heavy white leghorn influence ( floppy combs on some, some even have a few black speckles, ordered from Ideal as purebreds though), 1 Black Australorp, 2 Barred Rock hens, 3 Red Broilers, 1 Delaware hen, 2 Gold Sex links. What cross could it be from? I would like to try and repeat the breeding if possible. I will totally keep it as my flock roo and maybe get another similar colored chick at some point. I am so excited!
