What color OEGB are these?

[raingarden]

These were picked up from a local breeder. I like them but do not know what the color is called.

The hen.

.... and her rooster

I've neve seen the white chevrons at the base of the tail before. Is that normal?

Another washed-out photo of rooster.

Female is Silver Duckwing.

Male looks to be a Silver Birchen. He's either crossed with gold(The Color in the shoulders), or he's carrying Autosomal Red.

Perfect. Thank you very much.

It's all complicated and way over my head

The rooster is mixed in color. He is close to birchen, but shouldn't have gold on the shoulders or anywhere else. Hen is indeed silver duckwing.

Thank you very much for that. These are the only two OEGB I have that are not black-breasted red. After a while a person can get pretty sick of looking at black-breasted red so I enjoy the variety; regardless of what the mix is.

Do you have more pictures of the cockerel? Looks like he may have the blue gene too.
