I’d lean towards lavender blue. I had a couple d’Anvers hens (still have one) with the same coloring. It’s almost white but the shafts are dark, and the feathers are very soft without breakage. Obviously Hank has a but of leakage in the shoulder, but that wouldn’t change him from being lavender blue. I thought my hen was splash or plain lavender, but she produces lavender offspring with lavenders and splits and she produced some blues I believe and another hen like her.
