She is gorgeous. She is blue, just a little lighter shade. She is an excellent candidate to be bred with a mauve or chocolate for more mauve or with a chocolate cuckoo for mauve cuckoos.
Unfortunately, on second thought, I will have to let go of my chocolate soon. I will still have the mauve & the cuckoo which can produce so much better outcomes. So if you know anyone who is interested, please send them my way. I will probably make a listing on craigslist once I can take a better picture.
I am keeping blue for now, just so see how big he gets.

Very good. That cuckoo and mauve are beautiful and have nice chests! Hope my Thor's chests fill out like yours, he is nice and wide, but his chest needs to catch up. You will have a good variety hatching out also. So you will get 4 different cuckoos, solid blues, mauves, chocolates, blacks and splashes. I am sure I missed something, I need to work on genetic calculations. That will give me something to do this winter. And you have your mottled! Do you plan on pairing her up with the mauve cockerel? Edited- You should get a Lavender from @Faraday40 for your cuckoo!
I tried planning my hatch plan around the SL and a Blue. Figured lots of combinations, just needed a variety of hens. I hope to have partridge, blue partridge, gold lace and blue GL, SL and crossing fingers for blue splash SL down the road, Spangled and blue spangled, solid blues, black and splash. I hope it all goes as planned. But that means many hatches next spring, summer and fall. I am going to also have the 2 pairs of bantam cochins eggs I will be setting. What am I going to do with all those chicks? I have to move! @Faraday40 I think some Lavender Spangled would be pretty. I am sure I will have a roo come spring time if your interested. LOL
