Thanks for the tag.😊

Partridge x splash = blue
Partridge x mottled + black/split for mottled (carrying the mottled gene but not expressing it)
Partridge x black patterned gold columbian = black patterned gold columbian, incomplete in the females, complete in the males (differences will be subtle likely)
Partridge x black = black
Partridge x Mille Fleur = Black patterned columbian, split to pied/mottled.

All chicks may also have some leakage from the partridge father.

Please post photos of the chicks when you get them! 😊
 
Forgot the white one!
Partridge x white (assuming recessive white)= most likely black, though depending on what the partridge bird may be recessive for, could be anything. If the partridge is recessive for white, you could potentially get white chicks, if the white is "hiding" partridge you could get partridge chicks. Crapshoot really with the white.😊

oh my! I guess I need to know what color they all are first... (I was told the rooster was a lemon, but it is a partridge apparently?);)?
 
Birds in first photo are black mottled and buff (gold) columbian.
Second photo is your boy.
Third photo is mottled
Fourth photo is columbian and mottled
Fifth photo is the splash (light blue with "splashes")
Sixth photo is white and Mille Fleur
Seventh is mottled
Eighth is black. 😊

I added one last one to the end of the pictures - what color is she? She is light gray but doesn't really have the flecks of black in her like the other one (the splash). What do you think she is? and what color with rooster?
