Exotic Wyandotte colour

[Chicalina]

I hatched this wyandotte bantam hen from a breeder's eggs. The egg should have been blue silver pencilled. It was not.

I found a specialist UK breeder who breeds Pyle Partridge birds as she looks similar to his and I sent him a photo but he never replied.

She definitely has either pencilled or double laced markings, and her colour is buff at the neck fading to white at the tail (ignore the dirty tail feathers).

She hatched all white and then the yellowy buff started to come in as she feathered out.

I think she is stunning and I love her colouring. Would like to know what variation it is called though.

Hmmm
She's probably splash gold pencilled considering she came from blue silver pencilled lines. A gold pencilled probably got bred in there somehow.
Dominant white is also found in white Wyandotte lines so it's possible that a white got bred in and she's white gold pencilled.
I see the inner pencilling though it is faint. Both splash and dominant white tend to blur patterns.

Thanks!

I just found the original sale listing and the photos are still there. Do you think these two could be her parents?

No, that hen looks black rather than blue based. That could be her father, though. He must carry a copy of gold.
