Questions on colours...

My Splash boy with my hens, what colours does he make?
And my orange boy with my hens?
Which one will I more likely get partridge colouring?

I may have to get rid of the Splash because he's terrorising the hens a bit too much although I'm hoping he will calm down at the moment it's really stressing the hens out and they hid in the coop often 😞

What color are the hens? Orange is likely the variant partridge color.

Splash will give blue chicks with leakage in hackles

The orange one has a much better tail

Here's another little project I have going on. The Lone Ranger (only male I kept of the 3 blue splashes from PP and SC) in with the 'Golden Girls'. One is a silkie/bantam BO mix, the other two are from my BO, or Star Shine (???) and KE.. KE puts the size on the kids and at times muffs and pants.
The pullet next to him is a daughter of a bantam BO and my partridge silkie roo.View attachment 3331213

😢 Unfortunately Buttons didn't even survive the night, hard as rock in the morning, no idea why 🤷

On more positive news, pic of newly hat hatched chickie ... She had 3 eggs under her but they were cold when I took them off the broody with 5 chicks so I didn't have much hope. 1 egg with chick inside died from cold I think, other egg disappeared 🤷 but this one hatched ....

So sorry about buttons 😢

What a cute solo chick, does it look like there's some makeup eyeliner going on there? (That always makes me think female...)
