Gold Duckwing Standard Old English

If you’ve been looking for the perfect baby chicks to take home, the professionals at Hatchery® are here to help. We’ve been developing many different breeds throughout the last few decades, including the Gold Duckwing Standard Old English. Like every type of Standard Old English, you can expect this chicken to live a long and healthy life. They are known for their gameness, and the hens make excellent brooding mothers. This specific variety has gold and black feathers, as well as pearl-colored legs. Order yours today and we will ship your chicks in no time! Inbreeding for the golden color, silver is a heavy factor in the process and a large percentage of silver crops out. The golden color in this breed does not breed true.
