Wondering if anyone knows what this Olive Egger pullet will look like when mature? I've never grown out a bird with her pattern/color.
What color/pattern is this OE pullet?

she appears to be heterozygous for columbian gene and is silver- Dad was silver, the red is autosomal and from one of the parents. Her adult plumage will most likely differ from the juvenile plumage

Based on the e+ ( wildtype) allele. See the dark stripe running up the nape of the neck. I think this chick was probably chipmunk striped in the baby down.

I am no expert but I believe I'd call that a Silver Quail (?) if I wanted to give it a name.

@Wappoke @3riverschick @Mini Meat this is how she's turned out.

I like the look but may be hard to reproduce because she is a hybrid. I think she may carry one dark brown gene and not columbian because her head is a nice clean white.@Wappoke @3riverschick @Mini Meat this is how she's turned out.
This Olive Egger pullet seem to be the cross of Wheaten Maran and eb based Easter Egger or eb based Ameraucana, the hens display the partial dominat nature of wheaten over eb, I don’t see e+ on her, e+/eWh hens look mostly wild type, the pullet’s comb seem to be a single comb instead of pea comb, there is a big chance that she will lay brown eggs instead of olive eggs.
