Today my brother gifted me a Silkie as part of my birthday present since I have wanted one to breed with. I wanted a partridge one and voiced this as such. The one I got looks kinda partridge but she has an awful lot of buff, kinda almost columbian looking to me. So is she partridge and what are...
Hey everyone! I have a Black Australorp rooster, Black Australorp hens, and Partridge Rock hens. I let a couple hens hatch some eggs, and to my utter surprise, three grey and yellow chicks hatched! They’re absolutely lovely, and I’m in LOVE with them.
Does anyone know if they’ll keep the...
Does anyone know what the possible colors are if you were to pair a paint silkie rooster to blue partridge or grey silkie hens? There’s very few resources I’ve been able to find on grey and partridge color genes, I have eggs hatching tomorrow and I’m really curious on what colors to expect.

Lost a special girl this morning very suddenly. Diana, a brown-breasted Partridge hen, one year old. Diana was named after the Roman Goddess because she was a skilled bug huntress from the beginning. She was so fast, zipping around everywhere going after anything that moved, she gained the...
Hi all - five adorable handsome cochin bantam cockerels hatched May 23, 2022. No charge just want them "re-homed".
Pick up in Sandy Hook, CT. Parents were from McMurray hatchery and Dad is a buff cochin bantam. See pictures: A: mostly white/some black on rear/tail; B: mottled cream/grey blue...
Hey y’all!
So I have a chick I’d like some opinions on. The mom was almost definitely a splash and the dad is a partridge. It has some of the partridge markings but it also much lighter than what I’ve seen. What do you think?
This silkie has a brown line across its back…is it just going to be a dark buff color or is it possibly a partridge? Don’t mind the wet feet, she had pasty butt so I had to soak her butt right before the pic…
What type of chickens are of a partridge or black breasted color/pattern?
Is a Black Copper Marans Black Breasted??
I know there are Partridge Cochin and Partridge Rock, are there more?
Thanks very much for the help!!
Also, any other chicken besides the white leghorn that has dominate white...
Hi! I got these 2 ladies a few days ago and were told they were a very light silver partridge. Could they possibly be Splash? They are quite unique and gorgeous whatever color they are!
This is my actual silver partridge. Sasha
Hello everyone,
I’m currently dabbling with ideas for breeding projects on our Silkies and Satins.
Currently I have 2 buff satins, that I really want to try to breed more out off.
and I have a blue-partridge satin Hen, and her offspring which is a blue hen
Now I know this wouldn’t be SOP...
My new chick's came today!! 4 assorted silkies and 4 assorted cochin bantams. This little guy/girl is quite a bit lighter than the other patridge I've identified. Do they vary that much in shade?
This chick was sent to me as a “surprise rare breed”. I can’t tell from its markings what it is. I am thinking either an Ameracauna or partridge olive egger. Unless there is something else it could be?
So I have some chicks that I do not know what color they would be classified under. My adults are pretty simple (for the most part) I have 1 pure white hen, 1 solid buff, 3 solid jet black, 1 light buff kinda partridge with grey undertones (chewpekka), 1 darker buff partridge again with less...
I was wondering if there are genes that inhibit barring. I have some hens that hatched with the spot on the head but when they are fully grown you can barley tell that they are barred. These hens are brown based not black. So their grand parents were a male partridge rock and female production...
I am thinking pullet but want other opinions.
Early on I thought she was blue laced red (with pencilling?).... now I have no clue.
Is she blue laced red?
Blue and red partridge?
Mottled? Some combination of all of the above?
Also, is she even a she?
I was told she was a cochin/sablepoot mix...
8.5 week old partridge silkie chick. Guesses on boy or girl? We have an older partridge chick we are pretty sure is a boy so I'm really hoping this one is a girl! I know it's early but so far you guys have been right on the money with your guesses 😊
This is a partridge plymouth rock at approximately 6 weeks. I’ve had horrible luck with chicks turning into roos and the fact that this one has a comb starting freaks me out. However, it’s mostly yellow and I don’t really see any wattles forming yet so those seem like good signs. What’s your...
