Thanks for the info.
The Cuckoo x partridge boy looks nothing like a crele yet. How would I get him looking like those birds? Cross him back to a partridge?

I made Crele Rosecombs a few years back. I used BBRed Rosecombs, Cuckoo Rosecombs and Crele Old English. Dr. Petty in OKC was my leader in this project. Worked good, just takes time. I would think the best BBRed color in stds would be a Dorking and go from there. Don't know about the toe deal.

A fellow last year crossed a White Chantecler with a Partridge Chantecler and got this Crele Chantecler. The photos are from https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/243277/chantecler-thread/190

I personally would steer clear of Dorkings. That fifth toe would take generations to delete, as would its type. Perhaps an excellent type Partridge Wyandotte or one of the newly imported UK Partridge Orpingtons mated to a White Orpington of good type would create the best Crele Orpingtons.

Has anyone tried using a White Orpington on a Partridge?

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it's a pullet, her face looks feminine to me.

Looks like a girl to me too. The only concern is the funky tail feathers. Love that chick. I would amost consider buff colored Orps if I could have one just like it

The OEGB guys go back to the BBRed color in their Creles...for the female color if I remember correctly.
