purple or lilac?

This hen is the mother of the 3 chicks that hatched 9 days ago. Yesterday when I checked 2 chicks are definitely normal since their skin on their wings are black and the other one have a pinkish skin.

I need to know if this hen is a PB or a LB? or maybe a PB/WB?

She's a nice looking purple breast

So if the pink one turns out to be a SYF I can assume that the hen is PB/WB since the male is RH WB GB. Am i right?

Not sure what your asking but ...
RH.PB.Yb hen and a RH.WB.Nb male will produce:
RH.PB/WB.SFYb males
RH.PB/WB.Nb hens

You wouldn't be able to produce yellow females from this pairing (Yellow hen x Normal cock), so if you have a "pink" (yellow) baby, the only way it could be yellow is if it's a SF Yellow male - so yes, your hen would have to be Purple/White for that to happen

Debbie sorry for the confusions. My original question is whether my hen is a PB or LB. Based on your answer earlier it is a PB. Since my hen is PB and there is one chick in the nest that is visually yellow I am assuming that the hen in question is a Purple/White breast. Am I making sense here or making it more confusing.

Tiffany now I am more convinced that she is a Purple/White breasted hen.

Gotcha, not enough coffee.

If you have a yellow chick then yes she would be split for WB.
