That guy was a home made bsl rooster over a gold laced Wyandotte hen. The roosters' father was something like a buff Orp x New Hampshire, and the mother was a hatchery barred Rock.
Now - to see what they mature into .....
Good lookin boyHere he is ....The light is not showing him off well - his feathers are really shiny and the back long rust feathers are a deep color and his black feathers have that iridescence .... as you can see - I am biased in favor of this roo
In his teenage picture you can see some of the aracuna in his brown flecking and such - seems the welsummer colors came out as he molted into an adult male ... but his babies have that brown flecking
