Gorgeous birds everyone, thanks for posting the pics. I need some opinions on a couple chicks of my own. Below is a pic of 4 babies, 1 white, 1 blue, 1 lavender and 1 lavender??? The lavy on the end I know for sure, but chick in question is the very first one. I sent bottom/back side pics to show wing color as well as fluff. I would really appreciate ANYONE who would be willing to respond and give opinions as to being or not being a lavender. Thanks for any assistance.

My guess would be that they would be two lavenders??? IDK

It looks like the questionable lavender to the far right has smooth feathering?
