I have Partridge and blue Partridge silkies for almost two years. I still have a lot to learn. Most of the Partridge hens I see look alike but the roosters all look different to me. What is the right color? I like the darker Roosters. Here are a few pictures of my stock. Please let me know what you all think. I am trying to learn as much as I can.



Here is my main breeding rooster

One cockerel I hatched out last fall. First picture is taken in Jan. Last picture of taken a few weeks ago. I can't believe how much he has changed. I liked his darker color better.

Picture of pullets I hatched out last fall.

Rooster I sold because I didn't like all the red on him. He is the father to most of my chicks I hatched last year.

Is this called a red partridge? I hatched him. I don't like the orange but my son loves it.

I have read that that with the males you want lots of black on the chest. Nice and dark.
Other than that ????? LOL....
