I wanna say red wheaten. It looks like you crossed a black tailed red with a light brown then crossed the offspring together.
Reminds me of those red wheaten Marans.

Both parents were buff Xs red MF.
I'm thinking close to a red wheaten.
Think I need to bring back the black tail and make sure it doesn't carry mottling.

I thought Wheaten-esque too.

Wasn't expecting her.
Both original parents should have columbian so I expected all offspring would be showing columbian. Not sure why she has a wheaton type showing.
The MF leghorns have always been a pattern fuster cluck so idk maybe the hen only had one copy of Columbian.
Not trying to think that hard about it now. Lol
