madchickenlady Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 I have been offered a lavender mottled hen by a breeder, but I've never seen the colour before. Does anyone have a pic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 I wonder if they are meaning lavender cuckoo? I had a little cockerel - he was beautifully marked. I really miss him. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madchickenlady Posted August 20, 2010 Author Share Posted August 20, 2010 Hmmm, not sure They definitely referred to lavender mottled. I imagine it's a lavender hen with white fether tips, like a black mottled? I just can't picture it, IYSWIM. Lavender's are quite pale anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mollie333 Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Ring up and ask. Maybe its a Lavender hen crossed with a Mottled cockerel. Josh is crossing a Salmon Pekin with a Mottled Pekin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redwing Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Thats a sweet youngster, nice shape I think he is just shaded with lighter feathers not mottled, he will probably mature as a lavender losing those light feathers on the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
