I can assure you they are in fact different

Wingate is not the first guy to have brownreds.. that color was around before him... just like BBR was around before Hatch.

is there any other breeders name out there

When you write brownred you imply a color-type. When you say "Some Name" Brownred (where nouns are formal) you imply a strain that may or may not involve some variation on the brownred color-type. Being particular in how things are written can simplify things for all.

I wrote this from another country.

Mel sims did brownreds?
Mugs?

Wouldn't a grey be a silver duckwing. That's the "color" right

A grey / gray has the silver allele. Silver or gold duckwing more particular as base pattern is wild-type.

A quick search reveals this brownred fowl was imported Irish fowl by this joe Wingate so I'd venture to say he and he alone is the only "brownred" in the states. So he apparently made both the color and "breed"

Which can't possibly be even close to the original stiff by now. So they don't exist

I will never understand the “pure” talk. I understand calling birds by what they look like or who were supposedly bred by. By the time one person obtains birds or eggs from another there will be more than likely a conversation between the two parties. Then said person who has the birds will tell all he knows. Very few people will have valid information that will date back to original breedings. I know some will especially with more recent breeders. Red quill ain’t one of them though. I’d wager everything I have that most red quill of today have Old English ginger quill in them for color.

Either way none of it matters. It’s kinda like “what have you done for me lately”
