Color/pattern of this chick?

[Chiduckn]

Is this chick starting to show a spangled pattern? Or will it be a wheaten color like it's mother once feathered out? The white on the tips of the feathers made me wonder.

I'm the last person in this place you want to ask about colors

It’s brown and black mottled, not wheaten. I assume it’s a crossbreed, if you said it’s got a wheaten mother.

If both parents arent mottled those white spots will disapear and it will be split to mottled

Both parents are supposedly purebred but neither is mottled. Is spangled just another term for that? If this chick turns out mottled/spangled that means mottled dna is in there a generation or so ago?

So will it still have white speckles or just be a possible carrier of the Gene?

If neither parent is mottled and i think spangled has mottled but could be wrong then chick cant be split. Im not sure how spangles work so may or not be spangled

My worries were that if this chick is spangled then the parents I bought weren't as pure as I thought. Since at least one would have a spangled bird somewhere in the last couple generations. It's the first egg I've hatched off the parents so the odds of a true genetic throwback probably aren't in my favor.

Both parents could have carried mottling (but not shown it) and produced a mottled or mottled split chick.

Spangled is a pattern with mottling on a wheaten or duckwing base. Mottling refers to the just white spots themselves.
