Got this weird colored chick out of a splash pullet over a blue male.

First one i've seen like it.

What could this be? I made another thread for it.

Strange....

It's a partridge. I had some hatch out of BBS eggs from another BYCer last year.

Is it normal partridge or blue partridge??? The pictures I look up of normal partridge chicks are alot darker.

Mine feathered out normal partridge, but I suppose anything is possible since it came out of a splash and blue mating. I wish I understood genetics more, because I only know what happened in my case!

You all getting surprise blue partridge from BBS breedings need to compare notes, see if the breeders are originating from the same breeder.
