I think this is really required to get those "perfect" males and "perfect" females although it is possible to get pretty good coloring from a single line.

Technically there are only 2 types of partridge. 1 isn't even recognised yet so has no SOP and that is the blue partridge. The other is just the regular partridge. Some people give it nicknames for the different shades, but there are only the 2.

If there are only 2 which of the 2 is this 1?

I'm not seeing any of the partridge stripes down their backs. How old are they? To me they do not resemble partridge babies at all. Sorry, I'm not sure what they look like.

This chick did not have chipmonk markings either (the egg was marked partridge). It was just shades of gold and brown. Now it looks blue and buff. It's five weeks old in this picture. Is it a partridge?

On those notes. I have a hen line in my Partridge. I get all girls, have only hatched 3 boys EVER!!!! Now saying that.....I'll probably never hatch another girl again! lol

He looks a little more like a partridge, but can't be sure. He could just be buff with a lot of what they call smut. That's just a term used for mixed color. He looks more partridge than the others though.
