Is this chick wheaten? How did this happen?

The extra red is from Autosomal Red.

Good to know. I'll have to look into that.

You're welcome. Still learning about that gene.
Hard to find very much good information about it.

My pullet went through quite a metamorphosis over time, and I had thought that she was a 'he' because there was so much red across the shoulders (compared to a male in pic here), looking into that I discovered the wheaten gene. I learn more every day

I had a red wheaten too.
Mahogany and duckwing from the Welsummer, and Wheaten from the Ameraucana.
Now I hatched the same thing but the parents were a Buckeye and a blue EE carrying duckwing.

Interesting. The recognized colors/patterns of Bruges leads me to believe there should not be wheaten? I don't know enough about color genetics though to be sure.
Recognized Colors: black, white, blue, black gold-necked, blue gold-necked, black silver-necked, golden birchen, blue-gold birchen, birchen, blue birchen, partridge, blue partridge, silver partridge, blue silver partridge, red-shouldered silver partridge, red-shouldered blue silver partridge. That's partridge in Europe, aka wildtype/duckwing, not pencilled. I'm trying to get to standard colors from my mixed colored stock, I think wheaten might throw a wrench into this plan.
