What color would u call this? Wing Feathers finally came in enough to see color

 

[stephanie1992]

Any guesses?? buff with leakage? black with Leakage? partridge? any ideas??

A whole slew of things.

The top chick could be Duckwing w/columbian, or Duckwing x Wheaten, or Buff x Duckwing, etc etc.

The bottom chick could be Birchen, Black, or Brown-Red x almost anything but Birchen, Brown-Red, or Black except if the other bird is carrying extra genes (such as columbian, brown-red, or lacing, or the sort)

Yep and even then, the second chick especially, it's hard to pinpoint what it is genetically

A lot of color mixes look identical to each other or even to true-breeding colors.

But, for a simple name on what the color is or could be called, sure, you can wait til they're 4 months old.
