It's similar to blue copper in Marans.

But might be considered blue with gold leakage.

I'm not quite sure how copper is different exactly than red/gold.. my current understanding is red has mahogany modifiers that gold does not but are otherwise the same gene..

The "grey" lacing in and of itself is called blue.

Blue Partridge colored males (like Brahma) are beautiful with similar colors but the ladies aren't as striking.

I'm just an enthusiast joining in for fun's sake. Still very novice. Hopefully you will get some more precise and or fun feedback from other members!

She is lovely and will throw some gorgeous babies.. standard blue genetics apply, leakage may be random. Image from google in case your unfamiliar with blue (chart image from google)..
