I'll tag debbie for you, she might have an explanation for you regarding this particular bird.

It is a lovely looking individual, where does the picture come from?

The bird in the picture looks to be a RedHead OR YellowHead (you can't tell with that mutation).WhiteBreast OR LilacBeast (I can't see clearly in that picture). Single Factor Pastel Blue

So to get a bird like that You would need to pass on WhiteBreast gene or LilacBreast gene from the parents. If you are using 2 WB then you will get a WB chick. If you are using 1 WB and 1 LB or 2 LB parents you will get LilacBreast chick.
To get SF Pastel Blue chick you will need to pass on 1 Pastel gene and 2 Blue genes which can be done with a few combinations.

FYI, a "pure white hen" is genetically a BlackHead.WhiteBreast.Pastel Blue
You could use a Blue hen with a SF Pastel Blue male to get that chick also

Thanks for the vote of confidence, but I'm afraid I'm quite useless when it comes to genetics, and really know very little about it, sorry

Oh how pretty. I'd be happy if I could get a blue one!

so i cant use a white hen for the pastel cock because the white hens head colour is actually black? so the only way i will be able to produce this bird is with a pastel cock and bb hen is that correct? i luckily have 2 pastel cock babies in the nest atm i think

a "pure white hen" is genetically a BlackHead.WhiteBreast.Pastel Blue
and can be used, was just letting you know what the genetic make up is.

You would need a SF Pastel Blue male with a Blue hen both being WhiteBreast.
You need to pass on a Pastel gene and 2 Blue genes.
