I have recently gotten this gorgeous boy, he isn’t as friendly as my hens but he’s not crazy either.
I believe that him and my Auburn hen have successfully bred (as I watched it happen) and I realized it’d be good to know what he is. I couldn’t find anything like him online. His feathers appear to be orange-brown with white streaks/mottles. His father is a bourbon red, or atleast looks like one, and mother is unknown. But the folks I got him from said she’s probably a Narragansett or royal palm. All his brothers were some variant of bronzes (bronzes, red bronzes, mottled bronzes)

Edit: my best guess would be Barred Diluted Jersey buff, cause he looks a lot like a Barred Jersey Buff, but lighter.

Oh cool! I wonder if it’s a Bourbon Buff? I think they can come from breedings of Royal Palms and Narragansetts

Maybe, I think he’s a little too golden. But if the breeding was successful the poults colors should be a hint.

Unfortunately the pictures aren't good enough to tell the exact phenotype, but for sure a Jersey Buff phenotype and very likely a split base color.
If you have pictures of his tail feathers, this would help a lot.

He’s not friendly enough to get closer, but I am pretty sure these are from his tail
