The chicks may be sexed by color, pullets red-roosters white. When mature, the Golden Comet pullet is golden red in color, but has some white showing through in her neck and back. Truly an outstanding bird. This valuable chicken is produced by mating a R.I. Red male to a Barred rock female. The pullets are black with a reddish cast and are splendid layers of large brown eggs.
Roosters resemble a Barred rock.
These are beautiful birds, and you will find them massive in appearance. They are noted for both good laying ability and good meat characteristics. They lay dark brown eggs, are very docile and easy to work with. Their smooth fitting full plumage is striking, with white edged black feathers in the neck, wings and tail. The heavily feathered shanks and outer toes are another interesting feature.
