I would call it smutty red, but that is a horse term, like when a buckskin has a lot of black up its legs, black mottling all over, like counter shading up the sides of the neck, across the shoulders and hips... we call that a smutty buckskin.

smutty red huh? sounds like a plan.. I'm curious as what color cross these might be as well.

The pullet looks alot like a ginger ed OEG if the rooster gets darker like his wings are showing I would say he may also be considered a Ginger color too.

Those look like the black offspring from the 'lemon blue' cochins I have been seeing around.
