Greenwell is a color. It is like the Gold badger but has black speckling on
the tips and barbs. It is seldom seen on the hen side. I would say it is
more of a rooster color. We do raise a few in the roosters each year. Not
many.
Choch-y-bondo is the same but more like a Furnace (brown/red) with the black
speckles on the tip and tip ends of the barb. Again, not one we see often.
Again, mainly a rooster color.
If I remember correctly it was called for in some English patterns. I
suspect they may have come from some family of fighting (barn yard)
chickens. Some breeds may product this color more than others.
