Would this be a lavender? It has the same patterns as a partridge but is more blue.

More likely to be silver partridge with the chipmunk stripes. Lavender is recessive , therefore you need 2 copies to achieve that colour.

I would go with blue, silver, blue partridge, blue Wheaton, silverware partridge or silver wheaton depending on what the parents might have looked like.

From google looks to be a silver partridge.

Hello from Monkerai, at the base of the Barrington tops in NSW.

Today is an exciting day: one of our hen's first eggs hatched last night: a cute little black chick. Peep peep.

I also am looking for some advice to diagnose what happened to one of our chooks that we dispatched after she appeared to be maybe eggbound. After looking at her insides I now suspect fatty liver. If anyone has any experience in this I posted a picture in the emergency health thread, and I'd love to know if it is, and, can we still eat the meat?

Look forward to meeting more of the Aussie byc community,

Jo

And in general you should never eat meat that didn't come from a perfectly healthy animal.

1000 years. This thread has a huge amount of excellent information. I listen to the far more experienced ( than I am ) ... chicken owners on this thread.

They are a true blessing to us all ( meaning to inexperienced small flock owners, like myself - but with help, I have learned a lot ).

A comment with which I agree .... about eating meat from a chicken that has been ill and shows so many internal uproars, upon investigation.

Don't do it.

Could make you and / or your family, very ill.

I am however, very sorry to hear of the loss of your chicken.

Cheers ........
