Do all partridge chickens have chipmunk stripes?

Well maybe. you definitely seem to know more then me. He was darker when he was younger he 6 going on 7. I will have to some research on this leakage you been talking about I never heard of it before. My focus has been on breeding pure breaded silkies. Most people selling bearded silkies are really bearded / non bearded crosses.

It's good to learn genetics before getting into breeding, so that way you can breed for traits you want, & breed out traits you don't want.

Nothing wrong with breeding bearded to none bearded. Just makes more bearded silkies either way. I breed silkies.
