Interesting. Would you be putting this color in a partial breed?
Those are just color examples. The Buff laced look but lemon instead of Buff color. Hence the "Sand Dollar" name. Unsure of the look overall. I do have a bird I like the shape of currently so I may try to copy her shape. She's a real petite little bird who I'm breeding in a separate project at the moment. Her name's Cookie and I'm planning on calling her breed Sugar Cookie egger for their color and hopefully blue/green eggs like she has.

So you trying to make a new breed.
 
Your chicken is not a new color. Her color is red plye
She's a bit different than a red pyle. For one she lays blue eggs and has grey legs. Her mother was a Crested cream legbar. While yes she does look very similar to red pyle hens her gold patterning go's further into her chest and wings. She also has a barely noticeable crest of feathers. Breeds can be the same color and pattern but other characteristics distinguish them as separate Breeds.
Her patterning is like the black star hens except instead of black & gold she's white/cream & gold.

Also I have theorized that her chicks may be sexlink. It's unofficial at the moment until they grow out their feathers and I can tell gender via their combs.

That doesn’t have to do with the color of the chicken.


There are variations in the gene. I have seen a lot of them that have a nearly identical look to her.
I agree with you. I’ve also got a red plye that looks just like her I will try to post a pic of her.

She is a White Silkie x Paint Nn

I was going to use her to work on red plye silkies but decided I have enough projects going on right now and not enough space to dedicate to this color at this time.

Your chickens verity (what breed it is) is a mixed breed she is not pure nor will her babies so you may not even get chicks to look just like her. To get the best results you would need another red plye rooster of her same mix to get more some what “like her” chicks.
Your chickens color is red plye. This has nothing to do with the breed. For example. Millie Fleur D’Uccles and Millie Fleur Old English Game Bantam. Even feather type doesn’t make the chicken a certain breed like Silkies and silkied cochin.
Your chicken would be considered and Easter Egger because she is a mixed breed chicken that lays colored eggs. Easter Eggers are not pure and don’t breed true.

To make a new breed that takes a lot of time, money, space and LOTS of patience. I my self am working on 2 new verities of D’Uccles and saving a color in Japanese Bantams, that alone has taken years. My Brown Red Mottled D’Uccles are in year 4 and still have a ways to go. I’m not trying to put you down for wanting to make a new breed. It’s also very hard once you get that breed made to even get it recognized.

You could make your own line of Easter Eggers to have them just the way you want like their egg color, leg color, crest or not crested, feathered legs, skin color, extra. There is still a potential with you Easter Eggers but they will always be mixed never a new breed.
