Bantam chickens.. a friendly discussion about all pure and mixed breeds.

No. She looks like a mixed color. Partridge x black or partridge x blue.

Okay. She is a smoky colour with that darker head. Sort of greyish.

I know why Bonnie looks so funny. She grew more feathers and didn't stay downy fluff...
I could not figure out what was so different..

What about the blue though? Or is that normal for partridge?

The first one isn't blue. Second one might be. I'm not sure. You could test breed her to a smooth-feathered breed partridge rooster to find out.

They have the exact same colors. Both have blue underneath but I guess the first didn’t pop up in pictures. I don’t need more roosters so I guess I’ll never know

Same here. I may not know all the colors, but at least I know breeds.

Yes...If still breathing and I know what breed it's all good. Colour is a bit more difficult. Oh it's a Brown chicken..That one is dirty looking grey..Bahahaha..

Like for instance, I have absolutely no idea what color my OEGBs are or what color mixes they are aside from the BB Red Cockerel.

Oh Jeepers of course I have zero clue and just call them as I see them.
Well I have a whitish peach one and one with darker feathers etc..
