Partridge Silkies - Nothing else

[pennie1]

But why do I see some with dark combs? Not at much power to their punch (oooh, that sounds bad)?

I had a male once with that perfect mulberry color and his turned red almost overnight it seemed. I was like what!
But then I swear it went back to mulberry. Thoguht I was losing my mind or something. Could be that I am

I noticed that my black silkie roo's comb turns bright red whenever he decides to go "argue" with the caged roos or if I happen to move any new birds or cages into his yard. I see that he can go from mulberry to red almost instantly also.

Maybe that happens... I just recently put all of my teenage boys in a pasture together and it was like overnight that all of those tiny beautiful mulberrry combs EXPLODED and turned much redder (is that a word).

We really need to meet up at a show and have a few drinks... I don't drink much anymore, but I would make an exception in this case.

Yea but I drink ALOT! Iced tea, coke, and lots of icewater.

You are going to CR show right???

 

[pennie1]

Nope. Unfortunately finances prohibit me from attending and it's just KILLING me.

I don't see why this couldn't be the case. When the hormones start churning, if it can flow downwards it should make sense that it flows upwards as well. I know my Marans roos get really "redder" in the comb, face, and wattles when they are excited and looking for a fight...or romance!

Pen & Jen ~ Got to ask...why no Partridge avatars??? Hmmmmmmm?????
