This looks like a lavender chick🤔

I’m so confused. Are you saying the BCM and the partridge hen are the parents of the splash hen? Or is the splash a possible parent of the odd chick that hatched? BCM rooster with either the splash hen or the partridge hen would never make a splash chick.

I Know!!!! But this is what I have. I have 4 breeding own options. All Lavender Orpington. BbSM Marans (splash or blue). Ameraucana/EE. BCM/F1OE/BC1OE. That’s it for this incubator. I’ve been hatching these breeding pens for the past four months. Nothing gets in and nothing comes out unless I move them. These are my options. The only eggs those colors are my BCM rooster pen or my Ameraucana pen. All of my F1OE eggs look the same and are a different shade from my BC1OE egg. Is it possible that each parent could have a lavender gene each? I mean I’m just grabbing at straws in the dark here. It’s either splash or it’s lavender.

Saying those two produced that last pic bird and has now produced another splash chick.

They are NOT the parents of the splash hen.

Rooster is Splash Marans and hen is Blue Ameraucana

Rooster is Splash Marans and hen is Blue Ameraucana

Well at least that one now makes sense.

Hahahaha!!! Seriously! When all have hatched, I will inspect more and see if it truly is splash or lavender. Fascinating for sure!!

As it is drying, I’m thinking it has to be a splash, but here are the pics of the adults. The splash is from when she was much younger.

Your partridge looking hen is an Easter egger, not an ameraucana, so could have some recessive genes. However, the chick is most likely blue.

How would it even be blue if neither parent is blue or splash?

I thought the splash hen was a possible parent?

They said no because she lays green egg and it hatched from a blue egg. I think.
