Is this blue partridge?

That’s Great!
He’s a keeper then, So if I bred him back to a partridge hen would I get 50% blue partridge and 50% partridge ?
The mother hen must’ve been a mix of the two.

Correct.

Yup.

Would he not have some buff coloring on him too though?

The red of the partridge coloration must've darkened it.

It's impossible to get a blue bird from two black birds. Even if those black birds came from a pen of blues, they wouldn't carry blue genetics. However, if they were bred to a blue or a splash, they would have blue offspring.

A bird cannot be black and carry blue. The Andalusian blue gene works to dilute black. One copy results in a blue bird. Two copies result in a splash bird.

Gorgeous birds. I'm jealous

I was wondering..
this is a blue buff columbian x partridge Brahma pullet

If I bred her to him would The offspring be blue partridge? Or would It be best if I just bred him to a partridge hen to get blue partridge ?

Best to breed to partridge.

You'd get the traditional BBS offspring but with Columbian thrown in the mix. Probably best to keep to Partridge

Handsome fella. Hope he molts out that red in his breast
