Maximus's Son is starting to crow already.

Made a video of the chicks.

Caught him crowing today, & he was having fun doing it all day.

She looks like a little Quail.View attachment 4134568View attachment 4134569View attachment 4134570

Looks brassy back

@Amer
What would this Coloration be exactly? Is it due to Birchen, Dark Brown, & Charcoal, or something else? The mother is Black, Split for Wildtype. Father is Red Breasted Blue Birchen.

I would have thought pure Partridge at a glance but if it had Birchen down Birchen is reasonable
Could the father be carrying something?

Frontal View of my Black Duckwing. Would you still call this Red Brassy Back? I can't find Red Brassy Back online, only pictures of the gold.

Yes I still think so

What I meant by looks like a little quail I was comparing her to the bird not the color quail.

The chick was brown like his dad. The father feathered out to be a Red Breasted Blue Birchen. The father's mother is Red Duckwing.
The chick either hatched from my Blue Face Hatch Hen who's Gold Duckwing, or my Red Junglefowl/Black Sumatra cross Hen who's black, but split for Duckwing. I lost track alittle.

Other possible father is Magnus who's blue Golden Birchen with some golden lacing in the breast feathers, & carries mottling. He was paired with the two hens as well.

I'm having trouble visualizing "Red Breasted," but it sounds interesting. Do you have a picture?
