She isn't as tiny as she looks in the pictures.  The temperature is dropping at the moment so she's kinda fluffed up.  Do you know how they do in the cold?  I have to heat lamps in the coop.  I've been surprised how much time they will spend outside even when the others won't and it's snowing.  I know they don't like too much confinement, but I worry with what we will be facing the next few months.  Any suggestions/advice would be great.

They will do fine as long as they have a place to get out of the weather and warm their toes.  smile

Gold wheaten/Gold duckwing - same thing in Cubalaya.  The female for the gold duckwing male is not the typical gold duckwing female found in OEG, because cubalaya have wheaten based coloring.  Just like calling the wheaten males a Black Breasted Red, when it's not really because the females are a cinnamon red wheaten color, not the BBR female counterpart you seen in OEG.

I don't think they are Cubalayas; at least not pure ones. (That doesn't appear to be a peacomb on the stags).

Here is what they should look like (type-wise):

This one is about 7 or 8 months old

#1 Roo

#2 I think? LOL


The one on the top looks a little like my Key West Roo. Mine has a regular comb but the wild kw chickens are mostly derived from cuban, spanish, and puerto rican game chickens from the pirates and later immigrants that brought thier fighting cocks over on ships.
Here is my KW roo's pic

Cubalayas do contain some Game blood, but it has mostly been bred out. They are predominately Oriental and therefore would not be related to the Key West chicken (nice one by the way).

So do you mean the cubalyas of today have the game bird bred out? Or the cubalayas that were originally brought to key west from Cuba?

No Cubalayas were brought to Key West that I know of.

Cubalayas were created in the late 1800's by fanciers in Cuba.

I think you are confusing Cubalayas with Cuban Gamefowl: Two different breeds of chickens. Coloration, like that seen on your KW Chicken and some Cubalayas is no indicator of relation; other than the fact that they are both chickens.
