Hi, Bex, and welcome to the Forum.
Never mind 'the standard,' he's just stunning!
Got any more like that? do you know anything about his breeding?

hi, i keep red mottled and buff mottled amongst other small breeds. I picked him up from auction the end of last year with the hen for £1 !!!
I had to have him, would have obviously paid more,he really is lovely and tame, which is always nice. Not too keen on the hens colouring though. i was thinking i may put him with wheaten or lemon colour hens and see what happens.

ooh sorry, pyle sounds nice, thats quite rare isnt it?. probably wont find any hens that colour for him.

Highly unlikely but breeding him to partridge or buff could give a clue as to how his colour is made.
He is very attractive.
