Do you have a picture of a Cherry Egger or Golden Comet?

I will try to get one - - - but there is a very good way to describe a golden comet - - -

They remind you of Angel Food Cake - - -lightly golden brown on the ouside and white inside. This is the coloring of a comet - - light golden brown with white undercoat . . .

 

Well, my neighbor had 4 golden comets, at least that is what the feed store said they were, and they were all varying shades of orange. Two had the white underneath, one was almost rust colored, and one was a light rust with a darker rust head and hackle feathers, almost like a cape, and no visible white undertones that I saw. I wish I had a picture, but I don't, sorry.

 

Here is a link with a picture on it:

I found some good pictures right here on byc

Google the :

Sexlink, Comet, Star Contest

and look at POSTING # 14

AND here is another link with pictures of someone's chicken coop and birds. There is a really nice picture of a golden comet there. When you click on the picture, it max size is the whole monitor.

Golden Comet.... not a good photo lol

 

I have a golden comet. She is one of the best egglayers I have. Layed right through the summer heat. Her egg is darker than some of the cuckoo marans I've seen. Very sweet personality too. I'm definitely getting more next spring.

 

Here's some links to photos...

Cherry eggers are not quite the same thing as golden comets or sexlinks. The look slightly different and lay a different color of egg.
