Game hens, what are they?

[GotGame]

Can anyone tell me what these are, and what this color would be considered?

No, they are a game hen, just not sure what breed or strain, partridges look considerably different I believe.

Definitely not Partridge. I don't know what you call it in American Gamefowl, but they appear to be "Lemon Blue" (blue based brown-red) or just a cross of Blue and Duckwing.

Nice heads!

I have had lemon blues in a couple different breeds, I have never seen andalusian blue look like that, nor lemon like that....

No, I know, those are pretty uniformly "blue" and shiny, almost like a Self-Blue/Lavender, but the brown on the neck is too dark for that. . . So I'm still guessing either Duckwing x Blue or Blue Duckwing w/columbian, which, is rare in Gamefowl.
