So are Welsummer hens Gold/-? I assume that red sexlink hens are that too? And how about Leghorns?

Welsummers can be gold or Silver

This is a Silver Duckwing Welsummer

Gold Welsummer

I have a hen that has a pattern I’d like to recreate. What breed has a pattern that could achieve this?

She’s a serama

She’s a serama

Yep I figured, but thanks for confirming. Some people told me she’s a bantam so I’ve only recently thought otherwise when seeing seramas. Do you happen to know of any patterns (or base color) that could bring out the pattern I’m looking for?

How Dominant is Hard/Tight feathering to Soft, or Loose feathering?

"Bantam" just means a small-size chicken.

There are many breeds of bantams (Serama, Sebright, Japanese, Silkie, and more.)

So your hen is a Serama (breed) and also a bantam (small chicken.)

That’s the tricky thing. Her mother and father were both larger than her, as she’s fully grown. Mother was all black and father was an old English. If she came out completely different in pattern and size, then I can only assume she’s picked up on someone’s familial genetics. All I can plan on doing then is to find a physical look that could possibly bring out her pattern.
