Here she was when she was a chick....I don't see any strips going down your little guy, unless the pics just don't show it. Only time will tell.

I'm also thinking partridge Rock.

Looking at it, I think that's likely as well. The next post should tell us for sure.

Sorry, but this isn't a partridge Rock. She looks like maybe a Welsummer. A partridge Rock had the lacing on the feathers, not the lighter stripe in the center like your bird does.

Here's a pic off feathersite of a partridge Rock, at least the pic is showing up when I post, but vanishes when I submit. Anyway, a quick search on google or Feathersite will show the difference.
That lacing on the feathers doesn't become apparent until 3-4 months or so. Until they they look like they're brown with black barring.

OMG!! How awesome!! Lol. You guys are absolutely right. She looks dead on like a Welsummer. She came from a hatchery and was labeled "patridge rock" so who knows. Thanks!!
