What color is this rooster?

[buckock]

This guy is a black tailed red maran from Cackle… but. What do you call his color and what gene would cause this expression? I think it might be a dilute gene to change the red to cream but I’m not sure.

I'd call him a tan, orange-y neck, rusty winged black tailed boy.


@EmmaRainboe How'd I do?

He is a black-tailed red golden. By golden I mean he is heterozygous for silver. Not seeing a trace of dominant white on him though.
He is e^wh/e^whDb/DbMh/MhS/s+

agree with you he hasn t got any dominant white because his tail is black ,
if he has dominant white gene even one copy his tail will be white or almost white .
here a photo of one of my rooster .white copper marans ,( black copper with one dominant white copy . need more copper on the hackle and saddle ) his tail is almost white not pure black.

Yeah, I thought Cuckoo would be silver but an odd choice. Birchin, possibly because they have the Columbian gene? I don't know if Marans are Recessive or Dominant White, but I know Orps can be gold or silver-based under the white.

It's just odd/puzzling to see such an atypical bird some out of a flock or Black-tailed Red Marans without saying it's a mix and not pure.

Birchen doesn't have the Columbian gene. They're just a straight forward pattern like duckwing or wheaton.
Not a lot of extras going on so wouldn't be a terrible choice. Well except that whole silver thing
Birchen is the silver version of BCM.
Whites are Recessive and could hide everything.

I used to raise BCM and was trying to use everything with the most color to get more females with more color in the hackles. I hatched and raised a male that had a completely colored chest instead of the black.
Used to be a Marans guy here that was creating patterns in Marans. @Chooks man you still around?
He said that rooster of mine would be great for a black tailed buff project.
Maybe he can shed some light here.
