The "What Color Is My Chicken?" thread! Calling all color experts!

Do you know what breed or cross he is? That would help. He looks like he'll end up some form of duckwing or wheaten based color, likely golden (carrying gold and silver genes), but perhaps with some columbian in there, which with some breeds is referred to as "Quail." I see a Wheaten-based pullet behind him, is she from the same breeding?

. This guy was sold to me as a sexed pullet, imagine that lol I was told "she" was a splash. Now that HE is older and not really a splash compared to my other splashes. I would like to know what color he is. He is now named Booby for his blue footed booby colored ears lol! Thanks y'all

I have a Silkie rooster that looks a lot like this! Silver on the neck, red, and then some cream on the wings that is hard to see in this photo. I want to know what he'd look like smooth feathered. He came from either a partridge pen or a white x partridge. Not sure what the colour is. He's about 5 months--needs to be rehomed.

I think most folks call those tortishell, like those torti cats. But, it is not an approved variety, though very pretty nonetheless!

Definitely not an approved colour as this was a colour crossing. Thanks for giving a name to it!

Hi, sorry about all the questions, but I don't know much about this stuff

#1 - would she be considered partridge?



the next 2 pics show her color a little better. It's kind of a pale gold-ish color I guess





# 2 - I know it's not an approved variety, but is this boy salmon color or Silver Wheaten or just a mess of colors? Also if I mate the same parents that made this one could I possibly get some pullets that are similar in color?



this is what he looks like from the front


#3 - could he be considered partridge? If so could I put him over the pullet in the first pic and possibly get more similarly colored offspring?









The cockerels look kinda bad cause they've been sparring all morning. Hormones are starting to kick in. I have 5 young cockerels together. Separated them from mom and their sis just in time!

No official color name. I have some EE's that color I call them Gold Duckwing. I think others call the Partridge.

Not sure, but I call them gold duckwing too. I have a few that look similar, but instead of black they have a blue color. Very pretty easter eggers.
