Welsummers are partridge also and would look a lot like a partridge penedesenca. Wheaton boys should feather out dark body with golden hackles as juveniles. As adults they are usually lighter in the hackles than partridge but not always. If you are planning to raise partridge and wheaton, I...
The two chicks I see look like a full partridge and a partridge with wheaton mixed in. You can see the eye line on the full partridge and the lighter face of the wheaton. Partridge chicks should look like chipmunks in down and the wheatons should look solid yellow - if you see yellow with...
They look good for the having taking a long ride in a box. I am glad to see them. In my original breeders I was sent some with white legs and some with poor comb, so I have been working on getting rid of white legs and working on combs. Keep the best of your offspring and I will do the same...

I ordered 10 partridge penedesenca from My Pet Chicken last year - only of 3 of the 10 had all the right characteristics of dark legs, coronation comb, and white ear lobes. 3 of them had the right comb but were built and feathered like black copper marans and lay a nice dark egg. I was wanting...
Crele Penedesencas are autosexers - that means that you can tell at hatch which are girls and which are boys. The girls are a warm chocolate brown with a white dot on their heads and the boys are lighter towards a brown gray and have markings on their backs as well as the dot on their heads...
Hey Suzanne of Huckleberry Farms - and anyone else in SC,
I just got back from the Unifour Show in Morganton, NC. I showed my Ameraucana's for the 2nd time. I was the only exhibitor of the breed but I still like to get a judge's opinion on my birds. They did fine and he picked BB and RB like...
Nice "Nadine" Make me one or two or three!!!
I have extra blue true Ameraucana Roosters - they are about 1 year old. I showed a roo and two hens from my blue line at Morganton, NC and they did fine - no negatives. Mine and my daughter's were the only ones' shown so saying they won might be a...

I am breeding for milder personality and killing mean roos and eating the eggs of mean hens. Hoping to see better temperament. It does vary somewhat in the birds. I have seen some be very sweet and tolerant of other roos. I have cuckoo marans and they are very tolerant fellows (too...
I do think the club can help the breed by networking breeders and bringing out good showings. Yes some people are loners, but I HATE being the only exhibitor of my breed at a show - it is fun with several competitors.
I think naming the club for the Breed will help people find you and it is...
Just knowing where everyone is and what they have is helpful. I hope we can trade around at shows to keep the birds healthy and bred to the standard. I show other breeds but hope to start showing my Crele Penedesencas this fall. I only show in North Carolina and South Carolina but would do more...
I have Crele Penedesenca (7 hens and 2 roos and some youngsters and a few chicks) and
Black Penedesenca (a trio of adults, a spare roo (just lost his wife to fox), some youngsters and chicks) and
Wheaton Penedesenca (2 trios of young birds) and
White Empordanesa (a roo with 5 hens, 7-8...
Did you enjoy the show? Weather was nice - made me in a hurry to get home! The judge, Tommy Lee, was so nice - he took time to explain the good and bad in my bird and point out a bird that had the kind of tail he was looking for. I always learn a lot from these shows. Going to Orangeburg SC...
