@The Moonshiner Thank you!

Here is a better picture of the darker pullet (picture is a bit older than current age):

Her darker feathers do looks blue-ish

Thanks for the contact info!
Your pullet looks blue wheaten, with some neck feathers that look a tiny bit like those of Columbian and Light Sussex hens. (I don't have the name for those feathers, cue the Light Sussex reference.)

She’s a blue wheaten.

@RoostersAreAwesome That's what I thought, thank you for confirming

@RoostersAreAwesome - can blue wheaten hens sometimes have neck feathers somewhat similar to the coronation sussex? I have a blue wheaten EE with those coronation feathers, and they look very similar to those I saw on OP's blue wheaten pullet.

Lots of different varieties can have those feathers. I don’t know if it’s caused by the same genes each time. It’s definitely not specific to just coronation, which is lavender silver columbian.

Are those neck feathers all dominant or recessive, regardless of genes? (what are the chances the offspring pullet gets it in a cross?)

I don’t know the genetics of those neck feathers. It would probably depend a lot on the pattern as a whole and what was crossed with what.
