GOLDEN WYANDOTTES DESCRIPTION. 47 



Silvers. Defects The same as stated before; cuts for defects and 

 in the same proportion, according to degree, as for Silvers. 



Plumage, deep reddish bay, the saddle having a black stripe 

 through the center of each feather, as in hackle. Defects Other 

 color than reddish bay, stripe without lustre, reddish bay lacing 

 tinged with white, penciling on lacing, smutty back, saddle void of 

 black stripe, white in under-color, or other defects; cut, in the same 

 manner as in Silvers. 



BREAST. The same as that of the Silvers. Plumage, under- 

 color, slate, slightly tinged with yellow; the web black, with medium- 

 sized golden bay centers, which taper to a point near the end. 

 Defects Outer edging tinged with golden, black penciling in cen- 

 ters, centers light in color, too dark at throat, centers indistinct, 

 other color of centers than golden bay, other color than slate tinged 

 with yellow in under-color; cut, in the same manner as in Silvers. 



BODY AND FLUFF. The same as in Silvers, Plumage, under- 

 color, the same as breast; web of feather, black, or black tinged with 

 reddish bay; fluff, dark slate, and tinged with yellow. Defects 

 Are less in this section than breast or back; sooty back, absence of 

 yellow on fluff, lightness of color, white in under-color, and such 

 defects as would detract from standard requirements; cut, in the 

 same manner as in Silvers. 



WINGS. The same in size, shape and manner of being carried, 

 as that of the Silvers. Plumage, deep buff or golden bay on the 

 lower or outer edge of the primaries, where it is white in the Silvers; 

 the other part of the primaries is black; secondaries are also black, 

 with outer half of the lower web golden bay, where it is white in 

 Silvers; wing coverts, the upper web black, the lower web golden 

 bay, with a narrow black stripe on the edge, which widens as it 

 comes near the tips, thus forming a double spangled bar across the 

 wing; wing-bows are a deep reddish bay; shoulder coverts web of 

 feather deep rich red, and under-color slate. So it is seen that 

 reddish bay takes the place of silvery white on wing bows, and web 

 red in place of white in Silvers. Defects bows too dark, want of 

 bars, penciled on secondaries, smutty bars, black on outer edge of 

 primaries, white in under-color, light buff on primaries, indistinct 

 bars or black running into bay, and such defects as mentioned be- 

 fore by substituting golden bay for silvery white; cut, in the same 

 manner as in Silvers. 



TAIL. The same in form and furnishing as that of the Silvers, 

 and the same throughout except the edging of reddish bay on the
