Splash or paint naked necks?

[Kwoka]

I have two 16 week old naked necks who are “dirty white”/really light grey with random black spots. Idk what color or pattern they would be considered? Is the “dirty” white/grey actually a blue/black/splash? They were yellow chicks with a few black spots on their heads, and they have slate legs. I’m curious about what genetics they might be, because I really enjoy the “dalmatian” chicken look.

As a bonus, one also has partial heterochromia on both eyes.

I would never have chosen Naked Necks as a breed for myself, but the Bresse breeder I ordered eggs from threw in some freebie mystery eggs from his layer flock. I love my “vulture twins” so much now!

The Naked Neck's have been bred into every other breed here in the states. The White Breese are a dominate white, so any mixing will have the white. Maybe the Naked Neck parent was a black and the spot's could be from that. Since they do have the big bibs on the neck, they are most likely a mix of the Breese. I had Naked Neck's before I switched to doing these Bielefelder's.

They’re heterozygous dominant white and black, so they are paint.

My NN are partridge colored with blue eggs.

and my frizzle NN her egg is green.

Thank you! I have a lot to learn about chicken genetics. It also makes sense that they would be part Bresse, as they’re quite heavy ladies.
