Is my Rooster Golden Duckwing? (but not the ideal/standard - a kinda messy one?)

[thistlewick]

He seems kinda in between silver/gold because it's not a very warm golden -- but he is definitely duckwing!

Or is it perhaps silver duckwing with some leakage??

Is this a fairly common patterning?

What was his chick down? Got pictures?

I'm asking cuz Easter Eggers are mostly Partridge Based.

Looks like he's silver/gold duckwing.
One copy silver and one copy gold. Silver is dominant so they hatch looking silver and mature looking mostly silver. The recessive gold has a way of leaking through giving a yellowish tint instead of the clean white a silver/silver would have.
Some people do call them "goldens".

Yes he was *white* down with the barest hint of a black/chipmunk stripe down his back - it was there, dark, just very thin. It didn't cover his whole back.

I thought he looked so unique in the bin compared to everyone else.

I grabbed another yellow chick with a 'thin' chipmunk line and he is splash with red leakage; he's our main Rooster with the hens.

Just wondering if the duckwing pattern is common or interesting or anything like that? Worth breeding George our duckwing? I know Splash is all the rage right now.
