Bantam Cochin Chick Color

[justbryguy]

Any thoughts?
Two BC hicks hatched three weeks ago. Lady I purchased the hatching eggs from said they were from a Mille Fluer/calico pen. One’s color has me baffled, and wondering if she slipped me an egg from her “mixed color” pen? Of course, no response from the breeder.
She said she just put together “Lavender, splash, silver Partridge, gold Partridge” I ordered four MF/calico eggs, and threw in one from the mixed pen. That one was marked and didn’t hatch.
It’s the chick on the right in younger pic, left in older.
Thanks for any ideas you have on color! I will need to have an idea what to tell his new owner when that time comes, since he started crowing at two weeks old. I call him “Beiber,” since he started singing before hitting puberty.

The feathering looks almost like a mottled pattern, but not exactly right for that. I think it is of mixed coloring despite what the seller said.
