Hi all, yes i just couldn't resist going and getting another pekin pullet, she's a little cutie pie, so sweet loves to jump on my arm !! so here she is and again I'm having a bit of trouble with correctly identifying her color, is she partridge? she has some blue in her cushion and wings and feet feathers, she has more red in her chest than her body, here is a pic of her feathers close up (best one i could get). all info and comments would be appreciated, thanks everyone

I am totally ignorant when it comes to CB and PB. The more experienced in this breed should be able to help more.

Hi Chikita, Your new hen is absolutely beautiful! I havent had experience with Pekin in this colour, but partridge Wyandotte roosters have a different breast pattern depending on whether theyre PB or CB. The PB rooster will have a dark breast with some speckles and a CB rooster will have a dark breast without any speckling at all. The girls have different pencilling if PB or CB. I think...and dont quote me on this, that the females PB have much more clearly defined pencilling than CB line. This may not be the only difference either. Cheers, Wendy
