Hey Illia, or anybody else with color expertise...

Here are a couple full body shots -- you can see how the barred appearance has faded since the other picture.

And you can see ever so slightly the salmon on her breast.

I'm excited to see what she'll look like all grown up!

the only problem with her being a silver duckwing, true duckwing roos (of any color) have a white triangle pattern on their wings. (also, true duckwings can be sexed as soon as they start feathering, as the breast will be salmon on pullets and black on cockerels. (and most can be sexed at hatch by the head coloration)

Silver grey dorkings are silver duckwing. (colored dorkings are gold duckwing)

now all that being said, she is a pretty girl, i have one just like her, but being a mixed breed one parent may have been duckwing, but too many other colors are dominant over this and override most of the pattern.

your girl's coloration is amost more like my dark brahma (bantams) than silver duckwing IMO...

Are you sure the pullet is not just lacking the Ap gene?
