How it happened?

I have this 6 week old hen with a weird but pretty pattern and I'm just wondering how she got it. So, how did,
this:

and this:

make this:

And if y'all happen to know, what is it exactly that she has?

I'm not sure. But their baby sure is beautiful! @NatJ and/or @TheOddOneOut do you know?

The parents could have a breed that has patterns like that! That type of thing could make a pattern on their chick!

The dad is a mix between rir, golden sebright, and cuckoo maran. The mom is a light brahma. Does that say anything?

Yes it does. I think you chick has blurry silver lacing. The blurriness is caused because not all the genes are in the homozygous form. Your male has all the genes needed for lacing (birchen, pattern gene, columbian, melanized). Meanwhile, the light brahma has columbian and partridge, also used in lacing. She gets her silver color in one copy from her father. So incompletely silver laced chick!

Yeah, I thought she had something silver laced in her, that makes a lot of sense, thanks.

Do you have more pictures of the father? I would also love to see updated pictures of the chick as it grows!
