Wow thanks for the update, what a handsome guy! From the first pictures I was leaning towards pullet, especially since he had a fast developing brother. He turned out so handsome though!
Thanks! He’s been separated from my other frizzles but i am keeping him with one of my partridge silkie hens. I’m hoping to get some frizzle babies out of him! Can anyone confirm that he is also a partridge? It’s kinda hard for me to tell with all that curl lol.

I know little to nothing about genetics, colors, ect., but I don't think he is? I'm not sure though.

Same!

@Timbers Happy Hens did you hatch him out? Did he have the chipmunk stripes as a baby? If so then I would say partridge. If not, I don’t think so. He has light skin and red comb, could he have a gene that causes that, like cuckoo or mottled?

These are his baby pics at abt a week old, a buddy of mine hatched him and brought him and his brother to me when they were 3 days old. She bought them from sunset hill farms, the big project breeder. However I’m not sure what project group he came from. I would guess a Mille satin group since his brother was a red calico satin. I do have two Mille fluer Cochins that would be Interesting to pair him with.

He definitely is so cute!!! And yeah, I could see him being a possible Mille project bird. Even though I really don’t have any experience with them. I think any number of projects would be possible for him!!

Also partridge may be possible as well as it kind of looks like he has a chestnut colored stripe going down his back in those baby pictures. Which could be indicative of the partridge pattern!
 
Thought this would be an interesting update. This guy indeed turned out to be a rooster. He developed into a gorgeous young man with an awesome mowhawk. Definitely was slow to mature and just started to crow last week. He’s about 6 months now and is still a total sweetheart.
Since I have frizzle hens this guy is for sale.

@NatJ would you know if he's partridge?
