Only if they are not pur for the lavender gene. My guess would be that one of the parents is actually a light blue or splash instead of lavender.

Okay, you made mention of a cochin in that post---what colour is it?

 

[PippyChicken]

The cochin is just a hatchery red cochin.

 

[PippyChicken]

Do the D'uccle's both look lavender?

 

[Sonoran Silkies]

I'm thinking d'uccleXcochin--that could easiy give you a black chick.
