I made mine out of polar fleece so there was zero hemming, and only a few stitches for elastic. Great for cooler weather!!!

We hatched this splashy looking lavender fellow from the very first egg laid by our lavender English Orpington pair

NIce! Anyone know the genetics on the Lavender splash?

At that age how can anyone tell if it is lavender splash or not?

well for one, all the splash I have dealt with were yellow chicks with maybe a spot of light lavender somewhere on their baby down.
2 this guy started our white and now has random lavender feathers coming in. 1/3 of it's tail, only on 1 shoulder, 1 side of breast feathering, nothing symmetrical, no coloring consistent from one side to another. Even a few feathers were sort of lavender with white edging. Sound splashy with these coloration features???
