Orpingtons - what colour??

[spish]

i have the belgian name for the colour but when translated i dont think its right...what do you call these colours in english please?
i have a post going under the genetics thread about breeding these guys but think it would help if i had the proper colour names?


thanks


Janna - 'parelgrijs'

Saartje 'blauwgezoomde'

Goliath ' koekoek split parelgrijs'

Pardon my ignorance, but is that a "lavender" one (second or third pic)? I don't know a ton about Orpington's (other than buff), but that may be one of them.. I wish i knew more, they are striking birds

Oh I wish I could see. The pics are blocked by the work computer.....apperently photobucket is a drain on the CO's bottom line

the 1st 3 pics are the same bird.....(taken in shade and in sunlight) on the genetics thread the other poster refered to her as lavender so think she is

apparantly breeding her to my cuckoo roo (who carrys the lav gene) will not result in many lavender offspring which is a darn shame

I'll check them out when I get to my personal computer. No blocks on that one.

The first 3 pics are lavender cockoos, the 4th is a blue(in europe blues are called blue laced since most blue varieties have darker edges on the feathers) and the last is a cockoo split to lavender.

Ah Ha! I can see them now...and what they said......although the last one I would have just said cuckoo but since I saw your other post.......

The first one is Lavender, just a lighter lavender. The second one i'm guessing is a cuckoo cuckoo color.

I wish I could call them - MINE! My color there, and my color here and oh yeah - thats my color a bit father over there.

Mine, mine, mine --- oops, sorry got a bit carried away.

Beautiful - the color variations that you have on the other side of the pond. I am not a gushy lav fan - but the size of your lav girl - she just knocks my socks off.
