Nellie where did you get your Partridge boys???

I see an egg swap in our future, to diversify our Partridge lines...

My hen technically is Blue Partridge, because she was the product of a Splash X Buff breeding, so her offspring when bred to my roo will be Blue and Splash Partridge. I hope to establish a line of both regular and Blue Partridge birds eventually.

Hi Jeremy, I got them from Greenfire. Yes, we just might have to do some swapping in the future..........

Good to know. Did you get just the boys, or some pullets to go along with them?

OK, one last set of pic (I took all of these this evening, it was finally less than 100 degrees

)

This is some pictures of my LF chocolate project and my LF Black English. They are the same age and very close to the same size - pullets. The rooster is on the smaller size. In case you can not tell from the picture there are 2 pure chocolate pullets and a chocolate roo, the rest are black.

Thanks! Can't wait till they start laying, very soon I hope.

I did get the LF chocs when I ordered the shipment of eggs from the UK but they are only a month old. It will be a fresh gene pool of LF for next spring.
