What coloration is this?

[MissJenny]

My little banty cochin is cute as anything, but I don't know how to describe his color. What would you call it?

Thanks,
Jenny

Columbian is the pattern. He has a lot of brassiness in the white, but he's a Columbian Cochin, like the Columbian Rocks in this thread: https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=8198315#p8198315

um, huh? That'd be a confused bird, LOL!

Nah, he's a Columbian Cochin with lots of brassiness... or maybe he's just really dirty.

I got that *took me a sec*--see my edited post above, LOL!

He's Columbian patterened and split for bot silver and gold, which is why he has the gold areas showing.

Thank you -- he is brassy. It doesn't show well in the picture, but his head is practically golden. The yellow-brass-gold toward his tail does look dirty -- I can't decide if I like it or not.

He was hatched here -- I bought the eggs from a breeder of mille fleurs. This is my second batch from her -- they are very calm -- but I did not know what to call this color.

I much appreciate you all three for your replies,

Jenny

He's a "golden" Columbian. Cross of Buff x Light/Silver Columbian.


ETA - Rareroo beat me to it.
