This is my 6 month old Partridge Silkie Fern. She is very quiet and shy. She does not have a beard.

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

I know he's talking genetically, but I have also heard that blue partridge can come from Blue/Buff and Lav/Buff matings.

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.

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.
