I have a golden or two out of a batch with just slight barring on their saddles - they resulted from the silver I mentioned earlier with the lemon cuckoo like back onto a bb red hen.
Yeah, I crossed the black rooster mentioned above with white bantams again and got some whites, more cockerels like him and pullets that are black with silver/gold hackles. I can't wait to hatch out a brother/sister mating of them. I am using one cockerel that looks exactly like the father with two pullets with pretty nice tails. I would like to do in the range of 20-40 due to all the other birds and animals I am doing or else I would do more.
