Hello, you should be able to tell the Partridge right away because of the coloring of the birds. The hens are more partridge colored.

Hi, Nicole, yes the feathers of the pullets will be pencilled, brown with a black outline, the cockerals will have more solid colours, reds, blacks, green lustrous sheens.

Thanks Vivian!

Then I definitely have 10 Partridge pullets and 1 partridge rooster. Wow what are the odds?!
