Is This Color Pattern Lacing, or Something Else?

I don't think it's lacing because you cannot create any form of lacing from sex linked barring.
Probably more likely a pseudo lacing created by the BO genetics. I'm betting it won't breed true.

Just want to see what others have to say.

I'm curious to see what others will say, too Visually, it presents as lacing but genetically, it cannot be.

Okay, the chick will be 7 weeks next Wednesday.

It's a genetic illusion Some chickens are great at this. I'm willing to bet that as your chick grows you may see more of a 'speckled' appearance rather than any type of lacing or barring.

We'll just have to wait, and see.

Wheaten (or possibly Db) does weird things to barred chests, I've found. Crossing RIRs and PRs to BRs and Barred EEs.
