I'm sorry if this is in the wrong section. Is there a name for this very light peach color? Mom is a splash easter egger and dad a mix breed.

I wouldn't call it a white tailed red.
Below is a pic of a white tailed buff which is buff Columbian with dominate white.
A comet isn't red Columbian. Its red Columbian crossed to dominate white with black underneath.
The dominate white over black changes the pattern from what a white tailed red would be.
Your bird IMO isnt the same as a gold comet either.
Way too much white or splash and the color isn't exactly red or buff.
I do believe it is a mixed pattern/color and has no specific name.

Golden Comets, ISA Brown, Hyline Brown and all of the red sex links with different names but same parents(RIR, WPR) are indeed Red Columbian with dominant white, their sire is a RIR Type and the Dame a Dominant White White Plymouth Rock line that is both Silver Columbian and dominant white at the same time(making it look solid white) some times you get overly white comets but most of them are columbian

The reason for both parents to be Columbian is because Columbian enhances the gold color on wheaten based females, plain old gold wheaten chicks look yellow at hatch even if red enhanced

RIR type sire crossed with a Dominant white Hen based on Extended Black or Birchen will not produce sex links.


While 99% of available White Plymouth Rocks are recessive white, the commercial type used for Grand Parents for Prolific Egg Layer lines are based on Dominant white and are Silver Columbian, the need for a Dominant white strain of Plymouth Rock started in the late 1930s and took off after the chicken of tomorrow contest(1948-1952) a egg laying strain that could be sexed at hatch was created at some point later.
