Here are a few of my flock from this year. I'm very happy with the buff girls!

Ok so what colour would you say this girl is? This year's pullet about 5 months old. Would you call it a red partridge, I'm stumped on this one but I kept her because she is beautiful and looks pretty wandering around in the backyard.

Is her under coat blue @kenya ? If so, she is considered a blue partridge. If her under is black..same deal. Either way, she is lovely and definitely a keeper!

Her underfluff is blue, just my blue partridge is not so rusty in colour. Here's a picture of her sister.
You can see her in the background.

Here's my girl the same colour as yours, she's a blue based light partridge.
