Would the red starting to show in this Sid Taylor be considered undesirable?

Coming out of molt.

I came back to try and delete this before anyone replied. Just after posting i stumbled across this picture of the silver penciled rooster. I think due to the speckles on the wings and chest he looks more like that than the birchen. https://www.cacklehatchery.com/silver-pencil-cochin-bantam.html

Poor quality silver penciled hen and moderate quality Birchen roo?

Weigh in - Bearded D'anver's or EE? If d'anver, what is the name of the color, just red?

The perspective does help a lot. I'll try to get some good pics of what i got this week. I posted the warhorse before and he checked out. Im pretty confident about the speeder grey pair, the pumpkin cock, and sid taylor pair. Ive got a round head hen, pair of butchers, spangled hatch hen, and...

That's what I have been doing. I'm trying to do my best to make sure that what i have is what it's supposed to be. Sometimes i think I've got it right then other times i find conflicting information. Plus it's like some say game you can pretty much call it what you want (color wise not specific...

Looking through the forums and this thread has been really helpful but I'm still wondering how do people find out what the breeds and strains of specific gamefowl are supposed to look and act like? Is there a common resource?

They may not be blues at all but someone gave them to me and I just can't recall.

That's helpful. I was told by his last owner he is a Brown red. I posted him somewhere else just to show, with the term brown red and had people jumping my ass that he absolutely couldn't be a brown red because he has white legs. Or at least is not a "pure" brown red, which is fine cause i never...

What would you all consider this? I know you can't tell blood lines. I was told it wouldn't be a brown red because of the white legs, however others have said brown red just means a brown breasted red fowl. Then i came across a standard of perfection article stating ginger reds can have white...

Thank you for all of the replies and a beginning insight to white dominant as a trait. I dont know that she will be used for breeding at this point. I am trying to get away from barnyard mixes for a little while.

Upon closer inspection, I don't believe the hen is a D'uccle. She has a beard, she has a muff, but she also has a huge tail puff! To add to that, she has extra toes. So I am guessing shes a crossbreed and/or inbred? She does have a faint amount of light yellow/orange almost lace like on the...
