New Partridge Rock Rooster

[303hunter]

Today I picked up a partridge rock rooster. He's 8-10 months old, and HUGE, and a beautiful bird, with red, blue, green, and black feathers. Just starting to grow spurs.

I've introduced him to my barred rock pullets/hens, and they are getting along fine.

Has anyone seen a cross between these two? I think they'll make some attractive chicks.

You'll have sex linked chicks. males will hatch with a white spot on the head and when mature they'll be barred with a fair amount of red leakage. Pullets will hatch with solid dark heads and be mostly black with some red leakage.

Thanks, that sounds good.
