What Easter Egger Color is this? How can I make a similar color?

[Cyprus]

I'm still newish to colors and genetics in that sense. I completely forgot about the wheaten color type. All I know is that blue isn't a true color and cant get it consistently. I'm not even sure of all the making types and color possibilities.

You can get blue consistently if breeding a black rooster over a splash hen

Are there specific breeds that can come in splash? I know of at least Wyandottes but I really just need to research more

Ameraucana
Araucana
Old English Game Bantams
Orpingtons
Marans
Silkies
Pretty much anything that has blue can have splash

Blue is a true color, it doesn't breed true.
Two blues bred together gives you 50 percent blue, 25 percent black, and 25 percent splash. Incomplete dominance.

Anything that comes in blue can.
But splash is not accepted in many breeds.
A couple breeds splash is acceptable in are Modern Games and Silkies. There are others.

What a gorgeous rooster! I'm a little unfamiliar with the Andalusian breed, but even seeing the potential a blue Ameracauna has is stunning. I know blue isn't a true color but can still show up. How pretty. Thanks so much for sharing!

I love my Andalusians - they are so pretty and are my best layers in the summer on less feed than the heavier breeds.

So I recently found a whole bunch of really gorgeous EE's on the internet, and some from the website:http://www.plumjam.com/poultry/breeds/ee-colors.cfm

Are these not the most gorgeous colors ever?!

Anyone have any theories on what breeds could have made that handsome rooster? Or the other hens?

I'll need to check them out! I actually don't know much about that breed

Splash Ameraucanas and a red bird could make something similar.
However, I think these EEs are just very mixed.
