Hi all! Can anyone assist me in identifying my hen please? She is a split blue, but a lot of blue all over her back and very pale almost non existent yellow on her belly

Seagreen, pale yellow belly combined with blue on the back are strong signs of seagreen

Thankyou for your reply. I have tried google-ing, there's really not a lot out there about this seagreen mutation yet and I've never seen one in person so didn't want to assume she was. Hope to hear some more from a bit more experienced ones on this forum like yourself, thanks

It's very pale all over including the chest but i can't understand the green feathers in the back also. Can you show a pic of the parents please to see if that helps.

Sorry, I just purchased from a local bird sales show. One parent was blue, the other split blue. I bought a pair, simply sold as split blue, the male is green back white breast black head.
I don't believe the seller was overly aware of her colour? He didnt mention the blue colouring at all and I will surprised she hadn't already sold. Super excited as she just looks so lovely
