I was only looking for a pair of companion hens for my solo girl when I found a local keeper that only keeps rare chickens. I went over to take a look and came home with a Blue Bresse and this little girl. The breeder told me that she is a lavender orphington, but as we were walking to the car, she noticed "lacing" on her as well. I've looked for images of similarly described orph colors, but I can't seem to find a match. Any thoughts?
I'm not sure exactly how old she is, but she has not yet started laying.

She’s looks like she’s a mix between two different varieties of Orpington.
Perhaps lavender Orpington mixed with silver laced or partridge laced orp.

She should have slated legs if she was 100% lav orp. But of course she’s not.
 
What does Lavender x Crele make? That was my first thought. There is some lacing, but I'm not confident enough to say for certain what I think she has going on. She is gorgeous though.
 
Thanks for the replies and compliments! :love
She's a sweetheart to boot. She may bring me over the the orp camp for any future additions to the flock.
