Lavender Orpington- Shredder gene- breeding

[Amer]

Can I use one of these black chicks (if I get one) to OUTCROSS or CROSS BACK to remove the shredder gene?

Yes, but I don’t totally understand wing patch. @nicalandia does.

Does this make sense?
this hatched from my Lavender roo and blue /lavender hen (photos of parents on page 1) What is going on ??? Thanks! Separate pens from all others. no way any other roosters got in.

I do have one blue hen - so would this be her chick then? Will this chick grow up to be black? or blue?

I don't see any Lavender on her

Just hatched a LO mix chick, I think the dad was RIR. I thought for sure I would get a black chick, lucked out.

So in your opinion, she is just a blue orpington?
If I mate her to my Lavender Orpington rooster what will I get?
She hatched out of eggs sold to me as lavender- these are her hatch mates.

Blues and blacks. Maybe lavender and blue lavender too if she carries lavender.
