How do you “make” this color of Brahma ?

[Brahmachicken240]

I have a Brahma hen of this color
Was just wondering how it could be made and how many generations it would take
Was wondering if partridge x blue buff columbian offspring would make this ? Any ideas
Also is there a specific name for this color of Brahma ?

They look like buff brahmas, not sure how they’re “made”, but you can purchase them

This is a buff Brahma.
I’m wondering where the penciling comes from..

Those are just poor buff Brahmas. Black leakage that comes through looks like that.

You can probably get it from crossing with Partridge though, yes.

Agreed, lower quality Buffs....but lovely nonetheless.

Suppose I’ll try breeding partridge and buff for the fun of it and see how it goes, thanks

Looks like a dark Brahma crossed with Buff Brahma

Partridge is recessive, so more than one crossing is needed.

Partridge means "pencilled" in the US, but "duckwing" in Europe, so since you're in Ireland. I'm guessing you'll have to specifically search for Pencilled birds. Dark Brahmas are pencilled.

Hope that was helpful, rather than confusing.

ADD: @Cyprus, In my experience, Pencilling is only partially recessive. I have two young hens who both came from solid-colour, mixed breed parents (blue and recessive white) I know that one of the parents (blue hen) does not carry Pencilling, but the young hens both show pencilled leakage. So they're showing it, even though they can only have one copy—from their father. And their colouring is almost exactly what the OP wants.
