That sounds like a good idea. I'll post the link here when it's up, just have to decide an easy breed to start us on.

A popular one? Orpington?

Oops, I was typing away and didn't see your suggestions. Here's the thread:

Tell me about Brown Leghorn..is Brown a variety or is there another color name? do any other poultry match that?

 

[pipdzipdnreadytogo]

Brown Leghorns are wildtype Partridge, I believe. If I remember right, genetically it's the same as Gold Duckwing (and maybe Black Breasted Red?). Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Hmm, should I add that the color only needs to match genetically, so even if it's not the same name, it can be posted as a reply? Edit, the best example of this I can think of is Lavender and Self Blue. Same gene, different names depending on the breed.

Yes, add this

Done!

I think I stalled it already with my Wheaten Marans, though. Maybe I should switch her out for the Black one.

Maybe. I unfortunately have no Wheaton pictures

Not even sure why I went with Reinette in the first place, other than thinking about not crossing over from the other thread. I changed it, by the way.

Okay, right, the leghorns do look like partridge color. I was looking at the color varieties on this website

I'm kind of a neophyte on the subject, the thread should be educational!
