chuckmum6 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Please can you have a look at my growers and tell me how the feather colouring would be described, thanks.

Luvachicken Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Sorry, I don't what she is but she is very pretty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweety Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 The markings are very similar to that of my Partridge Wyandotte bantam, though the colouring is different. I would guess maybe silver partridge, but I'm not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Tea Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Perhaps a Silver Partridge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckmum6 Posted July 27, 2011 Author Share Posted July 27, 2011 Yes, I thought she's like a silver partridge, her mum is a partridge Pekin and dad is a silver pencilled Wyandotte. I am pleased with the way her plumage has turned out she is pretty even in her markings and colour, not bad for a cross breed. The other grower (same dad but silver laced Wyandotte mum) is pretty but her marking are incomplete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moochoo Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I've just purchased a Dark Brahma which looks very similar to your girl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Silver pencilled she's a stunner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Its pretty much a silver pencilled There is no silver partridge in wyandottes, the markings on the feathers is the same for partridge and pencilled but if the ground colour is gold then its a gold partridge, if its silver its a silver pencilled - go figure! thats not bad markings for a cross colour as you say Dont get me started on light and dark Brahmas Moochoo - it seems that the same markings are called different things depending on the breed too! light Brahma/Columbian Wyandotte/Ermine Faverolle for example No wonder people get confused!!

I have silver laced wyandotte hen too, but her marking are different. To be honest the science of breeding is unknown to me, I just think she looks pretty! Maybe I could learn a bit more about it.
