Mysteries are always fun 🕵

Yep. Just gotta wait till she grows up.

I can't find much on Db, or Dark Brown.

My first brown chick, feathered out with some Partridge patterning, so there must be some sort of partridge somewhere in my birds.

Note the faint Arrow on the head. The chick also had a dark reddish brown stripe running down the middle of it's back, but the camera couldn't pick it up.

My Project Giant Silkie rooster feathered out a similar way, since he carries partridge.

I found this.

This has to do with Partridge Silkies, but it's talking about the Partridge gene.

Oohhh, she looks like a chick I hatches last year.... that one was half Phoenix (different one than the mama's I posted babies of last night), quarter Americans and quarter splash Cochin bantam

Interesting. The chick I posted is a cockerel, but grew into a gorgeous rooster.

This chick was pure yellow with a black splotch on it's head.

I think mine looked similar. I was so surprised to have a chick like that since the two fill sisters hatches out black and chipmunked

The Large Fowl Silkie rooster I used hides Buff, & the light Brahmas are e^b/e^b, Co/Co, S/-

So maybe you birds are hiding abundance of genes, your just now starting to discover?

It's quite possible. I enjoy the different colors, and can't show so I don't have any problem. It's always neat when there are a bunch of different ones in the same clutch

Yeah.

Same here, but I'm planning to show my birds someday.
