Partridge is penciled, not laced. The gene is dominant, so does not hide, but it does require an e^b based bird rather than E or E^R.

Some birds show penciling from day one, others only show it on mature plumage.

Thanks Sue for the info. My line of birds take a while for the color to finish.

The past couple years I have been hearing of a BUNCH of partridge popping out of BBS pens. I had a roo up till this summer him and his 2 brothers (3 chicks all boys I swear I was dooped by that breeder - lol ) was perfect chipmunk striped partridge chicks....Guess what, they all wound up being blue. the one I kept - Falcon he was apparently split partridge because he threw me blue partridge, a full partridge, and various mixes depending on the hen he crossed with.

Racuda, definately keep an eye on that one. Don't know if yours will be a true blue or maybe a weird split like mine was, but keep an eye out and test its breedings to see what you get.

Have found the the lavender gene when mixed into a line has caused the same effect. ie partridge colored chicks that turn a light blue color upon molting.

Crossroads will be my last show unless something drastic changes in the way some of the ASBC people handle themselves. As a club, they should not allow conduct that sheds a bad light on the club itself. Steps should be taken and rules set forth. There are a lot of VERY nice people in ASBC but it is getting ruined by a few bad apples.

For the most part, the people who are most vocal in complaining seem to me to be the biggest part of the problem. However, BYC rules prohibit bringing drama from other forums to BYC, so this is NOT the place for comments about the silkie club.
