I can't identify this pullet!

This is a picture of my female pullet. I have no idea what she is other than her mama being a Dorking, but not a red Dorking a regular one. The roosters it could be mixed with are Delaware, Silkie or of course, Dorking but she doesn't have five toes like Dorkings do. And again the Dorkings we have are the regular ones, not red. So if anyone could help me identify this pullet that would be great!

What do you mean by regular Dorkings? The silver grey variety? I think this is a Dorking/Delaware cross but not sure where the red coloring is coming from.

Yes, I'm sorry.
Do you think a trait in the Dorking hen can through to this pullet?

Like maybe the pullets Mama's Mama or the rooster was a red Dorking

I don't know. The chick has the white legs of a Dorking. And it has some barring on its neck like a Delaware. It's just a mystery as to where the red coloring comes from. There are probably some hidden color genes in one of the parents.

That could be.
