No, the golden necked D'Uccles I have seen in pictures are gold. My pullet is white with buff- like a buff orpington around it's neck area and blended some.

Goldneck is sort of a catch-all name for splash d'Uccles. While they really should be gold, splash can be expressed in a lot of different ways.

Hmmm....maybe I should order myself a whole bunch of golden necked ones from a hatchery and breed them with white! I think that will get me the chickens I want.

What chickens do you want? A pale, even, golden color?

I want a white chicken with buff (and white) coloration around the upper torso and head, blended with white. More of the ones I have!
PHOTOS! And here are Dahlia and Peaches; they are angels! They are from McMurray Hatchery.

*Goldneck is sort of a catch-all name for splash d'Uccles*. While they really should be gold, splash can be expressed in a lot of different ways.

While that's true about splash expression, that's not always true about the goldneck color. There really IS a difference in both varieties which I will share pics of this weekend to show the difference

Not 'correcting' anyone, but did want you to realize they are 2 seperate colors of D'uccle
ETA: Splash shows 'leakage', true GN birds do not

Here's the 'goofy-colored' funky chicken guy I promised to post pics of, as well as a baby splash roo and baby goldneck roo so you can see the difference. These are all babies so cant tell much about them just yet, other than color

I know they are all funny looking right now, bless their lil hearts
