If one takes a Partridge male over Silver Pencilled hens it should give me Partridge pullets (although they may be light in color) and Silver Pencilled cockerels (although they will be brassy). If I take those offspring back to the parents (partridge pullets to the partridge cock bird and...

These were orignally purchased as show stock, but they came with vulture hocks (well all the males and a good percentage of the females) so they need good pet homes. There's 5 or 6 males and close to 10 females? Forgot exact counts. Take a pair, or trio or all of them.
