HI! Can someone tell me what breed this hen is?

Wheaten is different genetically from Duckwing, even though it is a mutation in the e locus.
I'm talking appearance. I am not sure what it is genetically since I don't know much about that. But the male counterparts to hens of that color have silvery or creamy hackles and saddles, and gold or reddish shoulders, usually, and in appearance look much like golden duckwing males.

It's because Wheaten is a Sex-linked type coloration with Wheaten males looking more like Duckwings, & hens appearing completely different, rather then Salmon breasted.
