I know it's lavender something, but I don't know what. Duckwing maybe? Is that even possible?

This is just too funny

Lavender partridge?

Interesting.
Why do you say this? What are you seeing?

The little dots over the brows look like some partridge chicks. And Leghorns can be partridge from the dark brown. But what do I know?

I know one parent is pure duckwing but I saw the same and was guessing the other parent and this chick are duckwing/partridge.
Someone used dark brown leghorns way back in some of my first Isabel leghorns so it was there.
I get chicks that I've always assumed had partridge. I'm thinking these brown chicks I'm getting may have the Db gene from the same original birds.

Dark brown leghorns have mahogany and other enhancers but not Dark Brown/Ginger, which is like a Columbian enhancer but without allowing black hackles (think Japanese.)
I didn’t understand dark brown for a long time.

So do you have any ideas what's causing my brown chicks?

The partridge gene, since dark browns are partridge, not duckwing.
