Partridge Silkies - Nothing else

According to some very good Silkie Breeders on this forum, they called her blue partridge, so that is what I call her.

yes technically her color is blue partridge, but the question is - will she breed true? thats the issue with those "surprise" colors out of mixed breedings. if they will breed true and reproduce similar colored offspring. If one parent was a pure lavender, then yes she is technically a blue partridge colored bird split to lavender.

I had a blue rooster that was split to partridge, he always threw me partridge-y color chicks some true partridge when paired with a certain girl in my flock.

X2 A lot of people are calling anything with a smudge of gold or black partridge now. Best to breed to actually find out.

I got my blue partridge girl by breeding a Lavender Rooster over a Buff Hen. Here's a picture of her.

Hi Elite,

How many times did you hatch this mix and were the chicks all the same color as the one in these pix or was it just a by chance coloring?

And did you get my last PM about the little Lav. Girl?

I have wondered if she breeds true, but with the lav gene, I am highly doubting it, but right now I do not a have a partridge boy for her

Considering bidding on the beautiful partridge boy on the auction, so she will have a mate.

that might work or u breed her back laventer see what u got from that breeding

My initial breeding was for porcelain offspring, so am curious to see if she will produce porcelain bred back to a lav male. I'm thinking she will. I no longer have a lav male either though.

She obviously has blue in the mix, and not more than a single copy of lavender (not sufficiently dilute to be lavender partridge).

she looks like blue partrdge but have u breed her to prove thats what she is because she the start of the makeing of porcelins breeding, she a lavender split that looks blue partridge

A hidden gene adds or subtracts nothing from the phenotype (appearance: variety) of a bird. It does, or at least can, have a bearing on the offspring.

Hey Suze, I noticed that you are working on Khaki Silkies. Do you have any pictures of the them? Would love to see some!!

Email me. I always have plenty of extra boys. Partridge included.

well if the buff parent had blue base like my buffs it could be from there
