He is not as nice as the other guy and he too is lacking in the crest department!! Another Baldina!!!!

he better then some but ya brother is better​

Yeah his bro has more black in him plus a much better crest even though I still don't care for it

But, this boy here is soooo bowling ball shaped it's amazing! He also has an nice dark black tail and so far his comb is good. He's only 5 months old so he has alot of filling in to do. I will be selling this one at the Boston Poultry Show in two weeks with a light pullet as a pair

Hmmm but it's all his primary wing feathers. We left him in with our laying hen when we went out of town. He is umm frisky and there is no telling but it's a different cage wire. It looks like most all wing feathers are broken and almost all completely stripped off... It was in June. So I was hoping for a nice new set of feathers prior to spring. Maybe I need to do a few a month.....??

I have partridge eggs pipping in the incubator... a little early, but early surprises are NEVER a problem

Well, only taking one partridge hen to Crossroads. Rachelle's boyfriend is still full of pin feather in his hackle and crest and wouldn't do much at the show. He'll be staying home along with the two blues and one black who decided to molt.
