Orange Sherbet! That is the perfect name for him. I think he is handsome.

I will get a new pic of him and the others tomorrow!

That just means that you are a very smart person!!!!! Partridge people are known to have a higher IQ and in general are a much kinder and friendlier person!!!!!!! Now, if you believe all of that, well I have a bridge that I need to sell..... Seriously though, we hope to see you on here soon with a partridge or 10!!!!

The red is too bright for that to be lavender. Lavender dilutes red pigment as much as it dilutes black pigment. He could be split to lav, but that means it has absolutely no affect on either pigment. What you are thinking is lavender is almost certainly blue.

Dark blue parti girl - really I consider this color just a leaky blue, but every else says this is blue partridge, so I'm going with the flow!



Some of my partridge. Awesome boy Jonah is on babysitting duty today.

they are still more smutty buff then correct blue partridge

Shes talking about the blue ones not the buff red/black one. Those I'd call blue parti. I have 2 that came out of a partridge pen that I bought eggs from that are identical so I know GENETICALLY they are blue - partridge not buff.

This is Snickers, notice the red/gold in her and the penciled look to most, its hard to capture on her because shes so dark...but many say THIS is blue partridge....its just what most people are breeding for at the moment, but its SO hard to see it, and looks SO much like just a leaky dark blue...I don't like this variation, I much prefer the lighter OBVIOUS partridge marked (penciled) lighter blue birds

I prefer the lighter blue also.
