Partridge Silkies - Nothing else

X2 I will say he has a nice short back and good wings--both of which are probably more difficult to find than one with a better crest or comb/wattle colour. He probably would not fare well in a sanctioned show if there is any competition, but he might do quite well in a breeding pen if you can pair him with a very dark skinned, large crested girl.

Here's an updated picture of my grey/silver partidge, bigfoot

Do you think she will be able to be shown as a grey(is her crest large enough, ect.)?

I would. (or alternatively, you could send her here

) She is gorgeous!

Yes, he is very short backed and nice winged.

The breeding idea sounds pretty good. I'll keep it in mind. :3

I love him!!

Thanks I love him too

Hes not a year old yet I don't think, he's STILL filling in.

I think I heard my silkie roo crowing for the first time today! Do you know when the silkie males are mature enough to fertilize the girls?

Yay, I'm so excited. ^D^ I think I might be able to start a Partridge Silkie breeding project in a few months, with Jujube (the rooster I posted) and a dark-skinned large-crested Partridge hen, who I'm still in need of...

That, and I'll be joining the Pacific Northwest Poultry Association soon.

I took some pics of my partridge today...before the storms come in. My black breasted partridge roo has finally filled out some, can hardly wait to hatch some eggs sired by him.

WOW that boy is AWESOME! Reminds me a lot of Sandy T of Bat Cave's main man Spartacus.

He will make some gorgeous youngins I bet. I have a hen that came through Sandy from you. - shes sitting on eggs right now. - sweet hen.

If I wasn't loaded down with eggs in my incubator (almost everything partridge silkies) I'd be all over trying to get some eggs from you. lol

Great looking boy,

here's hoping for some awesome boys just like future dad there.
