So where do the partridge come from? Did they come from a partridge cochin crossing in somewhere? I just wonder because it seems like all of the partridge brahma's that I see are a little weak in type.
That brings up a good point and a question I have for the brahma experts. If the standard recognized breeds are light, dark, and buff, then where do the buff laced, blue Columbian, black, partridge and the list goes on of colors come from? Does someone breed cochin into their brahmas for color but it still keeps the feathered feet and size?
Can't say for a certainty how some of these project color varieties came to be. But I have a pretty good idea on a couple.
