White Blue Partridges

[Arvor25]

I bought some white partridge eggs which have hatched and they are grey and some are brown
I also had some other white eggs from another seller and they have hatched White birds
The seller of the disputed eggs tells me that the partridges will go blue and carry the white gene
I listen to some BS in my time but I think I have been scammed ,good ole flea bay
Would you think that they can hatch white birds???If they could carry a gene

it is possible they can carry the gene but you would have to pair it with a white bird to get 75% white chicks or pair with another bird that carrys gene and youll get 50% white chicks
but blue chicks iv had some partridge in he past and blue chicks ???? sound like load of BS to me does he live close to you ? if he does try contacting him again but this time act like some one else go to his house and see if he actually has white partridge if he doesn't then reveal your self
