Any ideas what this chick will look like when an adult?

what will this chick look like... it came come my Americana and possibly my black rooster which is a mix of specked Sussex hen and barred rock rooster or my other rooster which is a New Hampshire red.

I love this chick so beautiful

The barred rock cross has to be the father, or else the chick would not be silver (New Hamps carry only gold, as does your Easter Egger hen). I suspect your chick is going to be a pretty traditional-looking silver partridge, but it can be hard to tell with crosses.

EDT: The chipmunk stripes shows that the chick carries either partridge or duckwing patterning, and since the mother is partridge patterned, I assume that the chick is as well.

Oh she is beautiful too! Yes it is hard to tell on mixes. I was not expecting this color at all but I love it so much. I have another similar I’ll have to get a picture too it has green feet.
 
Thanks I didn’t know that about the coloring...that is awesome. That explains how I got a gold chick from my other clutch of eggs that hatched.
