What color is this chicken?

[iamrobotbug]

When she was a tiny chick she was a mix of brown and yellow. Now she’s 11 weeks old and has a mix of brown and sort of orange feathers (how orange depends on the lighting). She’s an Easter Egger. I’m just curious what chicken people call a chicken with this color/pattern.

It doesn't have a name, as its not a standard color pattern.

I agree with Frazzemrst1. If it isn’t a standard color pattern, it won’t have a name. We usually just give it a name if we feel like it. Though she does look like she could have some kind of lacing, since she isn’t true to the color I can’t say anything for sure.

She is however very pretty. Look at those cheeks!

It looks like blue with gold leakage to me? @nicalandia and @The Moonshiner might be able to tell you genetically what might be going on. But it won't have an actual name for the feather pattern.
