Golden Duckwing Old English Bantam

Old English bantams were developed in England many years ago presumably from the common crossbred bantams of the countryside. Golden Duckwing Old English bantam chicks are brown with light streaks down the back. The heads, wing tips, chests and abdomens are light brown. They have single combs and clean, white legs and feet. Adult males have a cream hackle and gold saddle that contrasts their solid black body plumage. Adult females have a silvery gray head while the front of the neck and breast are salmon. The hackle is silvery gray with a narrow black stripe and the main tail is black. The back, tail coverts, wing shoulders, fronts, bows and coverts are silvery gray stippled with ashy gray.
