Hi Seefm5
That hen belongs to me. She is a blue edged hen, possibly cinnamon involved too.
Does your hen have markings on her flight feathers or are her flight feathers a more grey,blue brown wash. A straight colour?
If she is edged, you would go to the 0.1 section on the genetic calculator and tick under visual blue and at the very bottom the visual edge dilution sf (the 'do' one which stands for autosomal dominant).
If she is cinnamon, you would tick visual blue and visual cinnamon.
Hope that helps
