I got my first flock of chickens in June, 5 adult hens and 5 young brahmas from a friend, but he got the brahmas from another farm as hatching eggs. I can’t find many examples of these three patterns in particular, and would like to know what their names are for future reference. They are about 4 months old now, two are pullets and I think you can guess which one’s a cockerel.
Also, I would like to begin learning about genetics so any reference to which genes are at play here is much appreciated.
Thanks.

Charlie
Also, is there a reason for the brown in the wings of my other cockerel?

Blue
 
Echo blue golden partridge, Delta red silver partridge, Charlie blue red silver partridge, Blue is blue (the red is called leakage. I bet he has partridge in his background somewhere.)
 
I was thinking the first one actually looks like a BSO color (blue silver orange), which is a rare project color. I could be wrong, but I looked into getting them once :) very pretty Brahmas.

Never heard of that colour, but the reason I was confused about it was that gold partridge brahmas usually have gold hackles and saddles, you you could be right.
Thanks, I’ll have a look into them.

Thanks! Glad I could help 😊 I was surprised when I came across the color. Its pretty unique! I have someone several hours away from me that breeds them.

I'm a little more unsure of your other Brahmas, but the bottom one is just a blue Brahma with red leakage.

I think after looking maybe one of the pullets is the female bso, but not 100%. Since the bso is duck wing, maybe delta is a female duck wing
 
Blue silver orange for clarification is a laymans term for blue golden partridge (or maybe blue red silver partridge) and it is partridge, not duckwing based. Thank you for contributing because I have never seen the project before. They are beautiful birds! Also blue silver orange is easier to say. XD

I guess all the names do get complicated so people learn different ones, thanks for clarifying the correct name, I’d like to see a hen of the same colour so I can breed more one day.
