Is this pullet lavender?

[FuzzyCritters]

This is Lilac, a bantam EE pullet. I got her from a feed store, so it didn't seem possible to get a lavender EE from hatchery stock, but I don't know what other color she could be. About half of the other BEE's were the same color as her, so if she is lavender, maybe it's just common for BEEs? If she is not lavender, what color is she?

EEs come in pretty much any color and any unrecognized color too. Doesn't look lavender though cause of her chest

I would say she's lavender with some sort of leakage.

She has the shredder gene.

I love her coloring but I don't think she is a lavender.

No one is ever horribly wrong! A chicken is a chicken. Different colors and breeds are just a bonus. They are all loved the same!

Looks like a porcelain which has both lavender (self blue) and buff or wheaten genetics. She is gorgeous!

Do you have any chick photos of her?

Just curious, what's the shredder gene?

I was wondering that too.
