Unsure about a color

[WolfLady]

Hi!

I have a lovely and super social Easter Eggers (unknown mix) that I assumed to be a lighter shade of blue... Until I got a lavender pullet and realized she kinda looks similar color-wise. I wondered, is she actually light blue or lavender? I included pics of her growing up, current pic and pic of her with my lavender and blue pullets. It doesn't matter whenever she's blue or lavender, I'm just curious to know.

Thank you!

Blue. Lavender wouldn't have those dark hackers

Hackles *

I think since EEs are mixes, they don't have specific colors. For example one of my EEs is kind of splash, but there's also some brown specks and such.

She's blue. Just a light blue.

Thank you all! That was my thought as well she was likely light blue.

She's blue. Lavender tends to stay a consistent color throughout the bird.

She’s blue, a lavender bird is fully one color. Blues have dark hackles and almost look like they have lacing.

This is very helpful - I have a very similar colored silkie chick, and I'm thinking it may be blue now. I was not sure either
