What color will my chick be?

[Solanacae]

I got this cute Easter Egger chick along with a few others. I’m curious to know if anyone has guesses on what coloring she(?) might have based on her juvenile feathers. The breeder’s guess was possibly partridge. Any other guesses? She’s the one on the left in the chicky-pile pic.

She looks mottled to me.

Not mottled. Looks like she/he has some wheaten influence. Wheaten chicks often have white feathers that disappear as they age.

@RoostersAreAwesome you’re probably right.
I just thought it looked similar.
Here’s a baby Jubilee (brown mottled) Orpington chick.

I wonder if she'll look something in between one of these. I also see the wheaten. Thinking wheaten with some darker markings perhaps

That’s one reason why I usually stay away from “what breed are these chicks” threads. A lot of different down patterns look very similar. Here’s a wheaten ameraucana chick-

Got it. Now that I look, it does seem more wheaten-ish.
But EEs are mutts, anyways. Her color is impure either way, @Solanacae.

Oh I know her color is unpredictable, and I’m ok with being surprised. She hatched from a hen that laid speckled blue eggs, so we shall also see what she ends up laying too.
