Chook n Boo Mum Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 My Pekin which is supposed to be MF looks like she has partridge patterning under her MF white fleck! Her sister from the same pen (apparently) is traditional copper/white MF.....one of my Partridge boys came out looking like a patchwork...let me try & find his pic on here..... Your MF look to have collars.....or am I imagining it? Leanne? As long as you don't want to breed, you'll be fine..... any Pekin is a pretty Pekin IMHO I am also a pic posting numpty....

Chook n Boo Mum Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 More of a numpty than I thought...I can't even link to the thread....have a look at "Pekin Hatching by Proxy" on Chick Hatching section.....one of the brown stripey ones is frizzle (Chutney), one flat (Rose)...the blacks are one frizzle (girl, Pickles), one flat (boy, Marmite) & the patchwork one is a frizzle boy called Patches.....I will find a way to get a recent pic on here! Just need a teen to return to the house These bubbas are all from Gold partridge parents....see Andrew/ATSW's profile on the above non-link... Please could any passing Mod do the honours?

Chortle Chook Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 It's true Pekins do come in such stunning colours and are pretty little bodies in whatever colour. It's just that I have sort of committed to Polands, Silkies and Frizzles because whenever I get one of a breed I get overcome with this desire to have 'all colours in the breed' . So I have to get a grip on myself whenever I have urges to obtain other breeds - including Orloffs, Therugians, Sablepoots, Orpingtons, Brahmas, etc. etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
