He was from a batch of chicks that hatched while my parents were visiting. My mom saw the solid gold chick hatch and named it Goldilocks. It hatched with a fairly pronounced comb, so I was fairly certain it was a boy. By 2 weeks of age, it was pretty obvious he was indeed male. He produces...

Goldilocks, all grown up and matured. He's about 3 feet tall. He'll be one year next month. I really love how he's developed.

Carl is a gorgeous Easter Egger, not Wyandotte.

Goldilocks at just 13 weeks. At 6 months. He's now 8 months old. He's even bigger now.

I've gotta get some new shots of my Goldilocks.

The flaming red against the white of red sexlink roosters is just beautiful.

It may be difficult to distinguish male from female at hatch with the partridge type down coloring. But once the feathers start coming in, within the first week, you should be able to sex reliably.

For red sexlinks, he'll work as long as the hens are silver base color. Solid white hens aren't really recommended for red sexlinks.

Kind of makes any sort of awards won seem pretty empty and pointless though. The judges might as well be blindfolded, spun around, and told to point. Whoever he ends up pointing at, wins.

Still, a recognized breed bantam should have won that title over an unrecognized, non standard bird.

How can an Easter Egger win first place? There is no breed standard for them.

Just understand, that by breeding him with Blue and Black pullets, you are breeding Easter Eggers, not more Ameraucana.

Depends what your goals are. The first bird is an Easter Egger. Good if you like a lot of random surprises, as far as chicks go. The other looks like a purebred Blue Wheaten Ameraucana.

It's usually called Partridge in Plymouth Rocks.

Hate to break it to you, but with that single comb, he's not a Chanticler. Looks more like a Welsummer.

"Gorgeous! Are you working towards Crele?" -Not working towards crele. I'm trying for a red-base color with the columbian restrictor, muffed and turquoise blue/green eggs. Crele would be so much easier! The barring is just an added bonus.

This guy is my keeper from my spring hatches. He's not the right shade of bright red that I'm hoping for, and he doesn't have muffs; but everything else is exactly what I want. Only 14 weeks old, but his temperament is outstanding with the rest of the flock. His name is Goldilocks...

Gold Duckwing is his color/pattern. It does not mean that either of his parents where that color, just that they had some genes that combined to produce it. He looks like a typical hatchery Easter Egger, so not really a mixed breed. Hatchery Easter Egger type birds were actually the foundation...

Your Fester has more golden/yellow feathering than crisp silver. Gold Duckwing is Silver Duckwing with gold 'leakage'. He is likely carrying a gold base color gene in addition to silver, instead of just the leakage. But he definitely does have the 'duckwing/partridge' pattern. When it comes to...

Gold duckwing Easter Egger. Splash have two copies of the 'Blue' gene, and will not have any black as a result.
