What pattern is this??

[NikkiRenee]

I got this brama from someone who claimed that they were shownline birds. I believe the golden ones pattern matches up but I can not find anything similar to the black and white. Is it a project cross and if so what is it crossed with?? They also said it just went through a hard molt they are supposed to be about 2yo

Clearly not a standard colored bird.

I would guess that she is carrying Wheaten at the e locus and that's why she is not showing any pattern since wheaten is the worst e allele to base any type of pattern.

Not American Standard

She reminds me of my Silver Pencilled hen, but with a black neck instead of silver. Also lacking the Pencilled/laced pattern. My girl is also Wheaten based. Probably Split for partridge though.

Still need to get updated pictures of her.

Is there somewhere where I can look this up to understand better with pos pics??

Are you sure she is split for Wheaten? I believe even the eWh/eb heterozygotes would have a hard time producing such nicely pattern found on your hen.

Yep.

Buff Orpington/Barred Rock X RIR. That's her mix.
