Okay everyone: Here's my boy. I don't name chickens unless one jumps me, then it's not really a nice one.
Anyway is there a color name for him? Is he a duckwing?



He was kind of nervous, he isn't handled too much so he didn't want to stand up very well.

My thoughts- probably salmon, same as in salmon faverolles. The salmon color is due to wheaten plus silver and mahogany.

This boy has sparkling clean white feathers on head and most of the saddles, which could be due to wheaten... and white areas due to the Silver gene. He has very dark red areas on wing bow, back and under the saddle probably due to Mahogany.

If you want to breed more like him, best hen matches would be wheaten looking hens- the ones with buff bodies with more patterning and darker backs(as in the back is visibly darker than the breasts) rather than even, light colored bodies.

But just in case, if he happens not to be wheaten based and hatched out with distinct chipmunk stripes(wheatens hatch out cream or cream with single or a couple partial stripes on back), the best hen matches would be silver duckwing hens.

If the genetics is totally unknown it would be easiest to call him a silver duckwing as that's the (visual)descriptor for both silver wheaten or silver duckwing roosters.

As a baby he was white with just a hint of dark color (got him at about 2 to 3 days old), I don't think you could even call it chipmunk strips, just kind of a random markings here and there. Ordered from Cackle Hatchery, he arrived with Partridge colored hens.

From the New Years day hatch along, what I have left of them 1 it turned out to be a partridge like the moms, and I think it is a pullet. I have one chick that is a half (mom is a part OEG bantam and part something LF medium sized hen) that turn out to be a what I would call birchen (she has lacing on her breast),
