What is this color?

Tu for those photos, it helps a lot. Incomplete lacing makes sense because my blue easter eggers are progeny of blue australorps and blue wyandotte hens, which Are laced, & easter egger roos which are not.

Before i get to the "laced" pullet, the easter egger pullet below is classic blue partridge color, is that correct?

Heres one that resembles the pattern OP posted above. Photo was taken on a cloudy day so colors not as vibrant, but shows the lacing, which appears "red-laced blue" ??

She looks like a blue Birchen with leakage in the breast. She could be split for partridge, though.

Looks more like a leaky blue, but kind of hard to tell for sure.

Some Wyandottes are Birchen based rather then Partridge.

Thank you for your input. I do understand that easter eggers are mixed & not a breed so therefore have mixed colors. But you did help with the phenotype. I seem to be "mentally challenged" in my older age as far as ability to comprehend genetics. Phenotypes seem easier. Will go compare/examine photos of blue partridge and blue birchin now!

Yep, that's a variation if Blue Partridge. Your tag didn't work.
