Silver Partridge phoenix?

[Sir Sacabambaspis]

Phoenix aren't awfully common in my area and I just so happened to find someone selling this hen as a phoenix. However... I've never heard of Phoenix in silver Partridge, or Partridge at all. I'm almost sure she's a mix, but I'm just wondering what others think! I'm still looking into getting her to help start my phoenix flock since she could be helpful for my projects

Definitely a mix looking at that tail angle. Not only is she partridge, but partridge with the pattern gene.

That's insane!!!

Pattern Gene and Partridge are commonly linked together; it's more common to see them together than not together. A partridge without Pattern Gene is rare indeed, since when genes are linked they are inherited together unless the linkage is broken.

Really? I always thought it was the other way around lol

No, you can see the penciling on the bird. She is silver pencilled rather than silver partridge. A lot of people call this "partridge" because it's more common than just seeing Partridge without the Pattern Gene, which is just stippled all over.

unfortunately my only picture of it is very blurry. From Kippenpagina.
