Partridge Silkies - Nothing else

[BuckNBark Farm]

Ok, here's my playing with your posted pictures:








That program is really fun to play with!

Those are awesome- what's funny is that I was JUST looking at textured back grounds for it when I signed on. Love these!
Thanks! What name or farm name do you want me to use to give you credit for them?

My absolute favorite is the one second from the bottom of the rooster.

No farm name, I just raise chickens for myself (mostly) for eggs and comic relief. If somebody asks you can say I (ChickNmamma) used the Paint.Net program available free on the internet - because it is good advertising for them and they give the program away for free - so the more who know about it, and possibly donate when they find out how great the program is once they use it - the better!

Here are three I just did of my birds.. its pretty straightforward and the program does all the work!

This one I just told it to make the whole thing an oil painting - no outlining or anything - its Goggles.

This is Jaz and baby - I outlined the two of them, reversed the selection and made the background darker to get rid of the other birds, then oil painted the background - and reversed it again and oil painted the two of them (with a smaller paintbrush)


This is Jaz by himself - outlined and darkened background and lightened contrast, then oil painting and reverse and oil paint him..

Probably took 10 minutes..

It is an amazing program!

Is there anyway to begin to guess sex on a partridge? This one is 4 weeks today.

They are never too young to guess....a guess is only that and harmless. This one screams boy to me though, I'd just about bet the farm on it. ;-)

ok, all this partridge talk has me on the hunt for some silver partridge eggs? Anyone know anyone who might have 8 to 12 they would part with for a small fee?

I will put a ad in the wanted area too, might get lucky.

Well crap. Maybe he will be an awesome roo. I didn't want to keep a lot of boys, but I really wanted my only partridge. We will see I guess.

That is a better picture, thanks. And I still have no clue what could be making that coloration - I haven't seen a white chested anything.that I can remember.. perhaps it will change when it gets its adult feathers and will give us a better idea of what you have there. Partridge based yes, possibly blue - but white chest?

Looks similar to the quail variety (most commonly seen in d'Anvers). From feathersite:

Quote: I think this bird would be undesirable for breeding partridge. The variety appears to be quail. It does not appear to have pattern gene, and it does have the columbian gene. It might also have melanotic, which turns penciling into lacing. I cant see its back well enough to tell.
