The Golden Comet is generally a light/medium reddish brown, possibly flecked with some white feathers. It’s actually quite a small bird for a standard chicken, with females weighing around 4lb and males weighing in at 6lb.
They have a single upright comb – comb and wattles being red in color.
The beak is a yellow/brown color and eyes are a yellow. Legs are also yellow and the bird has four toes on each foot.
Golden Comets are excellent layers of medium to large brown eggs. They can lay from 5-6 eggs per week which puts them on a par with the Rhode Island Red hen. They are able to put out a whopping 330 eggs per year – that’s almost an egg every day!
