This is Parsley, an Olive Egger. She was advertised as Partridge, but she’s an entirely different shade than her sister. Are there diluting genes that cause this? I don’t know anything for sure about her mix, but I’m guessing she has Legbar in there because of her little crest :)

(As compared to Saffron, who is similarly patterned but much brighter:))

I would guess she has CCL and Welsummer blood.
She's duckwing pattern.
From the CCL side barring or cream will make the pattern look diluted.
Welsummer have mahogany which makes gold more red and brighter.
