Mixed breed opinions?

I am not sure this will help much, but we do have an SS hen with Bootsie and the others among our large flock.

I have acquired some more evidence for you!
She/he is getting red feathers on her neck and lighter on her breast!View attachment 2713353

Here are the chick's wings!
I definitely see the BB in them!

A SS could be a possibility too since they do have mahogany. But your rooster is also a rusty red, not pure buff, so he could be the reason for the coloration too.

Calico princess can be the mother too, but it'll be hard to determine.

Alright, thank you for the reply!
At least I have some ideas!
Then if the speckles stay, it could tell us that it does have either the SS or Calico princess?

By the way, does the chick look like a pullet?
I see from your sig you can sex them as well!

Mottling is recessive, so it will not be visible in the first generation since they'll be carrying 1 copy.

At this stage, I can't sex by wing feathers, but I can go by comb.

Thought I might update with a few more pictures!
This little stinker is getting A beautiful rust color!

Because of the dark red hackles, I am starting to think that the father may not be entirely Bootsie, but his uncle Red...
