What color or pattern would you call this?

Thank you! I don't know much about the colorations either, which is why I'm asking, lol. One of the pullets has hackle feathers that are a light color with a black tip on the end which is unique (to me, at least), but I don't know what it's called.

I have a general idea.

The most likely father is my former rooster who was a mix of red orpington over a blue hen w/ silver leakage. He was black with gold and silver leakage.

The mom of the first hen, (Pimento with the yellow legs), is a Bielefelder. The mom of the second hen, (Lexington with the slate legs) is an Easter Egger of unknown breeding. She is mostly silver but has some very light grey (lavender? isabel? idk) patterning in her tail and very light tan (wheaten? mauve?) on her chest.

I do have 2 roosters. So while the black guy was the dominate, it's not impossible that my silver rooster could be the father. He is the son of the black rooster and his mom is... I think... a blue hen with silver leakage. (There is also a chance his mom is a speckled sussex). He is silver w/ black, blue, and red leakage.

WOW! On these roos and WOW on those mixes!! Stunning!
 
Thanks.
Would silver blue duckwing be for both birds or just the first one?
Is wheaten the pinkish color on the first bird's breast?

I have not heard of cinnamon as a color. Is it a type of diluted red or something different?
Wheaten influenced bird is #2.

Cinnamon is kinda like Columbian, & Db(Dark Brown), but it's recessive not dominant.
These are Cinnamons.
