Pekin Bantams…. What colour?

Pekin Bantams…. What colour?

I acquired these two Pekin hens (and 3 Wyandotte GL hens and 1 partridge lace (?) rooster) for free on Facebook! Woohoo! now I cannot find a similar colour for the Pekins on Google… is buff partridge a colour…? Hoping someone could shed some light on what I would call the colour of my Pekins! Is it a mix? I’m a newbie & have only had brown shavers and Hy-Lines for egg production. New to heritage breeds and all these pretty colours 😍 I will be adding a Pekin rooster as soon as I build a seperate coop for the Pekins. I’d looove to have some advice on what colour Pekin roo I should get, I’m wanting to increase my flock but also have family members begging me to hatch them some chicks! Would love and appreciate any information/advice people could give me based on these pics, do they look like crossbreds or do they have odd colouring or any ‘defects’ per say, not that I would be attempting to show them but I’m so curious 😆😊 Thank you 💗💗💗🐓🐓
