Blue Partridge Brahma

[ChickenObsession]

I wish. I ended up losing ALL of my Brahmas this summer to a coyote. Including my full grown rooster.

I purchase my brahmas from Angela Panacci. If you search on facebook for Chicks in Bloom, it should take you to her blog and you can message her. She is in Edmond.

Hi I'm also looking for blue Partridge Brahma eggs and I was looking at the chicks and Bloom I noticed she doesn't have a website does anybody know where some good reviews are about her or what kind of reviews she has anybody else bought chicks from her or eggs

GREEN FIRE FARMS!
Takes a second to wrap your head around this....The overall color variety is called Blue Partridge Brahma. The Andalusian Blue gene that is responsible for their blue color in one mating hatches chicks in 3 different colors. Below, is how the gene works. The lighter ones you refer to are called splash and or red pyle or can be a very light blue. You will also have chicks that are black and gold/red called Gold and lastly, Blue and Gold/red are blues. We send chicks in the colors as hatched. It is very hard with real accuracy to tell the difference between a blue or gold blue partridge Brahma chick until they are about 3-5 weeks of age....



How the Andalusian Blue Gene works For Black, Blue, and Splash (BBS)

When breeding with the andalusian blue gene, one mating can give you 3 colors of chicks.

The gene for Andalusian Blue is a WYSIWYG gene. The visible plumage color is the color of the genetics. There is no need to do test matings to find out if it is present. The gene is a dominate blue, effecting black and little effect on red. The blue gene not present is a black bird (Feathers are Black and Gold), one blue gene will change a black bird to blue ( Blue and red) where 2 blue genes will change black to a whitish bird with splashes of gray/blue/red.

Below is the different combinations of matings between the 3 colors of BBS. The percentages are based on 100 chicks hatched.

➢ Gold x Gold = 100% Gold

➢ Gold x Blue = 50% Gold and 50% Blue

➢ Gold x Splash = 100% Blue

➢ Blue x Blue = 25% Gold, 50% Blue and 25% Splash

➢ Blue x Splash = 50% Blue and 50% Splash

➢ Splash x Splash = 100% Splash

Super sweet birds, especially my rooster, Bash (Sebastian, ala TV series Reign). I have only two blue partridge hens and the rest straight partridge. Bonnie is the best of the bl. pt hens, as far as pattern. Betsy tends to more reddish tones and less consistent patterning.
They do eat more than the other breeds. My two hatchery Brahmas I used to have did not, but these big ones from a good breeder in NY definitely chow down more, especially my Dark Brahma hen who is with them and is head hen.

I will have have the partridge line in 2019. I have had my roo for awhile now but my breeder hens are still chicks. Should be breeding by January of 2019. I have my project colors going now though. The project chicks for first generation around 5.00 depending on color and comb/feathering.

My straight brahmas for next year will be around 15.00 a chick or $40 for a dozen hatching eggs.

I see you are in Kansas, which part if you dont mind me asking? I live in Northwest Oklahoma. If you want partridge Brahmas now my breeder I purchased mine from is in Edmond OK and will hatch or sell eggs on a pre order basis.
