I "think" tate meant to say it was the "lighting" (sunlight playing tricks on color) rather than light.

Goodness I can be dense at times. So the birds are really buff columbians but sunlight making them look like lights (white)?​

Sometimes being dense makes things more fun...

I think the top and bottom are white columbian, while the middle is something else...white with yellow factor? The sunlight in the top and bottom photos make the front appear buff, but they look to have a white columbian color to me?

Looks to me like there's some Brahma in those birds...especially the second photo.

It is very strange that he would only produce buff chicks. He should be a black tailed red phenotype or a buff columbian. He could genetically have a combination of "columbian restrictors" that would remove the black from the wings and hackles- no problem there. But that he would produce only gold offspring does not compute.

Even if he was cream and heterozygous silver/gold, he would produce some silver chicks. ??????????

It could be that some of the offspring are actually silver and the combination of "autosomal red" and mahogany are causing the birds to look gold.

Please, post some pictures of the offspring.
