I have a batch of araucana chick's Hatching out. For the most part they are blue, black and splash to solid black roo, so the outcomes are quite simple. But I also have one recessive white hen. The first of her eggs just hatched out and revealed a smoky not quite black chicken. Looks like a dark blue, but the recessive whites parents were lavender. I know recessive white turns off the pigment, so I assume the hen is lavender underneath. I know lavender cross black normally gives a 50/50 split, but this chick appears in between the two colours, and has me thoroughly confused! What colour is this chick?
