We aren't 100% sure on breed but we do know he has Araucana (UK/AU type) and possibly Sussex? We have two of his sisters; one is a kind of laced pattern and the other is self-lavender. He was completely black/blue as a chick and has gradually grown these gold feathers.

We're just curious as to what colour he would be considered. I assume the gold is a defect if he has any blue/lavender genes? He also has slate/lavender-grey feathers on his chest. Greenish legs, but no distinct shiny tail feathers yet.

If he's Part Sussex then he's an easter egger. But if he's not I'm not sure maybe blue golden duckwing.
