Anyone have Golden Pheasant mutations- Pics

[spectrumranch]

Those peach goldens look awesome. I have a question about the splash because I dont think I have ever seen it before. Does the term splash in golden pheasants mean a splash of color that doesnt fit the variety or is it more complicated than that? Is the splash a recessive, meaning if you bred a splash golden to a golden the offspring would be golden but carry it or is it co-dominant?

Peach and Splash Goldens are linked together. A Peach golden was produced by a friend in Wisconsin and then the splash goldens were produced from them. To me the Splash goldens are more of a pattern than a color- as you can have Cinnamon Splash (the most common), Yellow Splash, Red Splash, Peach Splash. The Splash markings are like that of splash chickens- some birds will have a small amount of splash markings to birds that have alot.

I bred a peach male with a red hen and the offspring looked like yellow goldens.

A pair of peach will produce both peach and splash offspring. That is why the peach are harder to find and more expensive than the splash. When our peach chicks hatch they are cinnamon colored and first feather out a solid cinnamon color- but has they grow, they start to turn white. Most of our splash chicks hatch cinnamon, but a small percentage are yellow.

Thanks for answering my question. It seems that the colors of golden pheasants are starting to become like peafowl as far as the number of varieties.

I have Cinnamon Goldens also...... how did they come about? Also, my friend has a 2nd year YG male, but he is almost lemon yellow- to white.... how come?

I did not create any of the golden mutation colors. A friend of mine had the first peach male (that I know of) appear in one of his groups of young pheasants. After breeding it, it produced spalsh offspring. So i do not know how one could create the peach or splash color.

I know alot of people say the mutations come from crossing with amherst. But I have seen alot of amherst & golden crosses and never seen any that look close to a splash or peach.

there is a guy in alabama that got his splashes from amhearst- red golden crosses. dna test would confirm this. He had been keeping together for years. This is where I first saw a splash 8yrs ago. He had all kind of strange colors.
