Breeding Blue Partridge Satin?

[Badoux3]

Hello everyone,

I’m currently dabbling with ideas for breeding projects on our Silkies and Satins.
Currently I have 2 buff satins, that I really want to try to breed more out off.
and I have a blue-partridge satin Hen, and her offspring which is a blue hen

Now I know this wouldn’t be SOP standard, but we’re mostly breeding our Satins for fun, and to sell them as pets, but we do want to improve them to the SOP body standard (just not the colour in this case)

Anyway. I’m still trying to learn chicken colour genetics, and I’m trying to figure out if it would be possible to try to recreate this blue partridge colour in a satin? What would I need to do?

If you want more buff satins, breed the buff satin hens to a buff silkie rooster. 50-100% of the offspring will be satins.

Perfect! That’s exactly what my plan was too so i’m glad i’m on the right track in regards to the buffs )

As for blue partridge, use a rooster that is partridge, blue partridge, splash partridge, or gray. Then breed back to the blue partridge hen and her daughter.

Ooh! Interesting, I see.. so i’m going to assume the results of that breeding would have quite a few varied results right?
is there any type of offspring that would be more ideal than another to breed back?

Yes. Even blue partridge x blue partridge produces blue partridge, splash partridge, and (black) partridge.
Choose ones with smooth-feathering if you want more satin offspring.

Yea. Even blue partridge x blue partridge produces blue partridge, splash partridge, and (black) partridge.
Choose ones with smooth-feathering if you want more satin offspring.

Thank you!

That’s a blue with leakage.
