and halfway down its back. what color u think it will be when it gets its feathers?

I've always heard with chipmunk stripes... you get partridge.... partridge is actually the wildtype color pattern... and in most cases, is very dominate over almost all other color patterns.

Except brown-red and black, yes.

The chick won't have a recognized, nameable color, no, but will indeed resemble duckwing. I'm betting either A) the other part of the Orpington cross was a duckwing or partridge carrier or B) that chick got the Wheaten from the Orpington cross.

thanks for the replys. im intrested in what its goin to look like

The chick would become a buff columbian, maybe almost solid buff.
Chickdown is a clue what the chicken carries.

I believe that buff orps are based on eWh and Db. mated to a wild genoty partridge(eb the rest is +genes) the boys could come out looking more like a dark Black Tailed Buff(dark Orange) than buff columbian.
