What color?

Hi all,

I have this Easter egger hen I got from somebody with the rest of their mixed flock. She's our only blue layer so we've used her with our BLRW roo so we can get some green layers. I'm just curious as to what color/pattern she would be considered?? She's gold and blue, but that's as much as I know (other than she's obviously not well marked). I'm more curious than any thing.

The pix are dark as she evades the camera in the light. She's a flighty little thing!

Looks like a heterozygous duckwing/wheaten with blue and mahogany genes.
It's a sort of unnamed mixed color.

Thank you! I'm curious as to what she (Lucy) has in there. It seems like the 6 chicks I hatched from her are Black/Red or Blue/Gold and maybe Splash/Gold. Hard to tell for sure as they're very young still, but those are my guesses at this point, which would make sense for the BLRW to a blue/gold. I wonder what kind of crazy will happen if these chicks are bred together! I'm guessing some of Lucy's hidden genes will pop up?

I really like the color combo on her, especially if the markings were cleaned up a bit.
