I've been raising BBS for a very long time, and have had plenty of birds that look just like that, without ever introducing a lavender bird. So you are telling me I have had "lavender splash" all along?

I think the idea behind a Lavender Splash bird is 2 copies of Andalusian Blue (Splash) + 2 copies of recessive Lav.

I'd imagine up close the ground color of this bird would be a lavender hue, not the typical off white of a Splash bird.

Genetically it would breed true, too. 2 copies of each gene would replicate itself over and over again.

So, I'm the only one that sees Cuckoo?

Nope, I see it too. I thought it was interesting, Lav Cuckoos seem kind of unusual.

Yes she is Cuckoo..it was not happen stance, but not planed either
The rooster is White. As I have learn white is a wash out of some other
color, the wash out color on the rooster is Lavender,he also carriers a
cuckoo gene that I did not know about when I put a Lavender hen with him......

If I am correct she shows good Orp type, but I will listen to others comments

It would be nice to know if there are any other Lavender Cuckoos out there.
