The user @chesterbarton78 has a hen that looks exactly like this. They say it is a gold partridge.

Here is their bird:

And here's their gold partridge rooster,

i dunno about golden partridge. They look like dilute partridge to me, something common in the UK and here. I have several hens like this, and all are pure for Dilute. This is not a DQ in the UK or here.

Pretty hen nonetheless.

usually I use a washcloth for their face area (no soap) and to get the head wet, then a little soap on the head. then rinsing I usually just hold their beak up and run the water over the back of their head to rinse.
