Who’s my mommy?

The light Brahma is the mother. Which means the rooster isn’t a true isabel, he’s either an isabel x lavender or just a lavender with leakage. Isabel Orpingtons are partridge under recessive lavender, while lavender orpingtons are black under recessive lavender.

Is beak color ever affected by this at all?

Affected by what?

Affected by what?

By the recessive gene? Sorry if this question doesnt make too much sense, but I keep wondering what role beak color has to play in genetics...

Lavender does not change beak color. However, it does dilute red/gold tones to a straw color, which you can see on the rooster in this thread.
