Standard Varieties of Chickens: Golden and Silver Duckwing Games 
The Golden and Silver Duckwing Games are similar in markings, the only difference being that the Silver Duckwing cock (fig. 34) is white where the Golden Duckwing is golden or straw color. In both varieties the face, comb, wattles, and earlobes are red; the beak, horn; breast, tail, and thighs, black; shanks and feet, yellow. In the Golden the head of the cock is straw color; back, golden; wing bow, golden, the wing coverts forming a distinct black bar across the wing. The golden points are white in the Silver Duckwing.
