That is the way splash colouring typically develops. Unless you know that she also carries two copies of lavender, I would not say lavender splash. If you know she carries one copy of lavender, you could say that she is splash split to lavender.

Ok, since I don't know what do I call her besides pretty.

I'd just call her a splash. More than likely, a splash resulting from blues instead of lavenders.

Ok, thanks but I have another question since you sound like you know what your talking about.

What roo should I get for her to try to get more like her? I've been looking for a lavender Sizzle. I read somewhere about soft Sizzles and Hard Sizzles. I prefer the soft ones myself and want to create more.

More like her...I would think that getting an actual lavender male and breeding it to her would give you a better chance at getting lavender.

I'm not equipped to give the low-down on all things silkie, there are so many different types of silkie and silkie crosses that confound me. I believe Sonoran will be able to give a bit more information on the exact crossing that you need to do, but to get the coloration, I would get a lavender male to breed to your female if you are wanting to keep her as a breeder.

I want more like her. If I can know that at least most of her chicks turn out like her I would be more confident about selling some. She is just so darn cute I can't stand it.
