This Silver hen is amazing.
German Regional Poultry Show.

Woah. Also, she shows almost no autosomal red on the breast.

What say you about that Silver Leghorn hen from Germany?

 

[The Moonshiner]

Sh!t I didn't get notifications once again.
She's not like our silver duckwings. I like her.

Yeah, different for sure.
I assume that in Germany they do the same as Australia and the UK where they run two different lines for the pullets and cockerels. What would you do to get a hen like that? What would you work with?

 

[The Moonshiner]

I really don't know. At first glance she appears silver duckwing but lighter overall. Idk what's causing that. Looking closer it's like she has light edging on a lot of her feathers.
I have no idea how to go about getting that.

That hen appears to have “flittering” that causes lacing, but I think she might be a male breeder silver duckwing. They do double mating with silver Old English and it’s to keep the color of the males’ shoulders clean and white. That’s why the hen shows so little salmon in the breast, she doesn’t have autosomal red.
