I think I got lost in a conversation back when I posted and I didn't get any opinions on my birds.
I got these guys a few days ago at the NW Poultry Show in Stevenson, WA they are black and blue Plymouth Rock bantams. I was told that they were 6-7 months old.
I was just hoping to get some opinions on the color and body type

These aren't the best pics, but it's I've got

Does anyone have pictures of a Silver penciled X Partridge cross???

hi peeka52

The rooster's stance in the 2nd pic looks great. He has feathered out well too. Looks really great to me; I'm just a beginner keeping chickens, so my opinion may not count though.

Your chicken coop looks great too. Do you keep other chickens besides the two bantams? Looks like there's room for lots!

Bye for now.

Peeka look like you have a real nice pair there. Color and body are good. Hen even show yellow in feet which is rare in some blues.

My 6 month old Barred Rock Roo!! Icabob

He was supposed to be a hen but the breeder made a mistake! And he gets along with my Phoenix so! Here he is with me! He's a sweetie

He'll sneak up on you and sneak treats right out of my hands!!! To get him home he had to take a 3 hour ferry ride across the Bay of Fundy, people were shocked to see him in the back of the truck being so quiet! All my other chickens would've been hollaring their heads off at the all the people and noises, he was just chillin' having a nap

Sorry to have to tell you this, but he isn't a BR. Looks to be a Black Sex Link rooster. He's way too irregularly barred and whitish to be a pure BR. Gotta love a sweet rooster, though!

Awe, isn't it nice when they behave? I took my BO to the vet yesterday and she was so quiet and well behaved. Just a sweetheart.

If I understand the genotype - I may not
The hens would look like one or the other - Which ever their father was
SPR roo on on PR hen = SPR in the pullets
the cockerels would be yellow/golden partridge ??

He came from a purebred farm...and looks just like purebred roo that was at the farm I got my pheonix from. We also used to have 2 hens that had the same patterning as him...maybe for it being a different area or environment they'd have different colors? I've been told by alot of people that come around he is and any that I've seen before he looks just like them....
