I very recently fell in love with them and have been trying to get some hatching eggs. I bought a young pair at a swap last month and they are so friendly! I reach my hand in the cage to get their feed dish and they both hop on my arm. I hadn't really expected a "game" breed to be this loving.
I am disappointed in how little attention they get around here. I'm trying to get a nice flock together and very few people sell hatching eggs in the colors I want.

It's not that hard to find, goldens are pretty common, and if you can't find them Just grab you a good line of BB reds, and silver duckwings.. Breed them together, there ya go. for Blue goldens do the same thing, but then it's easier if you used a Blue red, or blue red sport.. Over a silver duckwing.
I was originally going to cross SDW and BBRED, but then I was told that the offspring wouldn't be genetically gold. So right now I'm crossing my BGDW to my SDW hen, hoping that Cavendish is genetically gold.
