Goldlaced x Buff Orpington chicks. NEW PICS ADDED! looking Partridge!

[flyingmonkeypoop]

Since they are blueish the buff orp could have had blue bred into them so that the peppering in tail and such would be lighter and not as noticable, I know that some silkie breeders do that. So if the buff could be carrying blue, the cockerels will be poor blue laced gold and the pullets will have poor lacing, same pattern. The gold laced could be carrying partridge, I know Grant Brereton bred partridge into his gold laced to improve type.

Hello! how have these little guys turned out? Any new photos to share?

 

[LauraMH]

It's been a while so definately Overdue on an update.

Been so busy. My 5 year old son finaly got confirmed as being Autisic. So now had to find him a new school as the normal primary both kids are at, now can't cope.

But


Update

the partridge one had to be culled, her head tilt got worse and she was spinning in circles.

The 2 others are both girls
they have turned out very different, but hoping to get a nice Goldlaced orpington cock to go with them.

This is both the girls, bum of the more buff lass lol They have changed so much since the chick pics.
The other has blue feathers in the buff and a blue bum lol

They are beautiful. I honestly have no idea[The chick pics].

I love their shape, they are so beautiful! Much different than my hatchery orps were.

Their colors are definitely interesting. I wonder if you could come up with some jubilee/mille fleur/porcelain (I am not sure what name they go by in England) from the one girl eventually.
