Hey all!

I posted an earlier thread about a weird chicken color that appeared in my flock. I don't know what it is. Here's the thread with pics of my chickens:

Anyway, I got this weird all red roo - no black. He has a darker chocolate color where the black should be. No idea where the color came from. I've been working on a new breed, I'm in Southwest Phoenix, and have found a few interesting mottled chickens that have been my base stock. There have been a few oddities here and there, strange and unusual colors, in my neighborhood. I wonder if they are coming from fighting/game stock creeping up from Mexico when the families move up here?

Today I saw this weird roo on Craigslist, and he looks a lot like my rooster, except my guy has mottling on top. So what color is this rooster?? Click on the ad and tell me what you think:

They are calling him a "pumking game" LOL. What color is this? Does it look like the same base color as my new orangey roo? (Except mine has mottling on top of the base color.)
 
The one in the ad is a Pumpkin Hulsey game bird.

x2 - They have the varying dun/black/khaki thing going on too, and are Wheaten based.

I believe that Pumpkin Hulsey Gamefowl are Yellow Birchens.
