Any idea what I am?

This pullet is eight weeks old, hatched from supposedly Auburn Java eggs. A variation of the auburn gene, maybe?

No Idea. I have a mutt hen that looks just like that. Her mama was a Phoenix dad/Sumatra mom. I think her dad was a Sumatra mom/Phoenix dad (they were siblings from a different generation). Her sisters are both black.

I'm not sure. I've seen several people selling auburn javas and they all kind of had a variation to them. Very pretty pullet!

I'm not sure but will love to see what people say. I have an EE that has feathers very similar to that pattern.

Looks like other pictures of Auburn Javas I've seen. The color & spangling is bound to be muddy since the variant is only a few generations into resurrection.

Here's a link to pullets at Soaring Hawk Farm https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/171631/auburn-javas/20

Here's a picture of the hen I was talking about. I think her grandma was not a real Sumatra though because she has a rose comb.:

that is a auburn java
they can have penciling,spangling, and some blk with the auburn color (red color) or blk with the light color in any patteren.
this is a breed that needs a lot of work so there is no bird the same. be it size,color or markings.
the need work in the size to get up to the blk java standards (SOP) if you really want to breed them and work with them I would get SQ blk javas and cross the blk on the auburns.
then breed the off springs back t the auburns till you get up to sop in the java breed and then wor of color.
These are a good hardy breed,but they are for someone that has the time and space to do right by them or as pets. This is not a money making breed as most people don't know much about them and the die hard java breeders don't look at them as javas but as mutts.
Best wishes to all that are working with them and or have them.

forgot my java page is down as I sold out of them since I'm in the middle of moving.
i won't be picking them back up either as JGS and marans,Japs are my main breeds.
The chick ooks to be a pullet too.
The one hen on bottom is a rose comb cross by looks( as rose comb in it)

You have an Auburn Java pullet. She will end up black with gold spangles as she feathers out. You can also distinguish female from male, as at this size, the roosters will stay darker and have less "spangling". With Auburn Java females, they seem to either be black with gold spangles, or gold with black Here's a couple pics of my birds:
