Looking for close to SOP splash pullets or hens that are still laying...
I'm located in southern California!

Jorge, why splash?   I'm not familiar with the genetics of mauve since it is not a color variety recognized by the Standards.   What do you need to bring together to make it?

Mike, mauve is chocolate on blue rather than black.
Breeding a chocolate rooster over splash hens will give you all blue males and mauve females.

Do you have any photos of Mauve in any breed?   It does not sound appealing to me at all, but as they say, a picture is worth a thousand words.

Here’s a mauve Orpington (not mine).

I quite like the color!
