Pekin Bantams…. What colour?

Our take

Meet the charming Pekin Bantams! Acquired for free through a delightful Facebook find, these little feathered friends are sure to bring joy to any flock. But what color are they exactly? With your newfound interest in heritage breeds, it’s understandable to feel a bit puzzled. While “buff partridge” is indeed a color in the chicken world, your Pekins might boast a unique blend that's hard to pin down. It sounds like you're on the cusp of a colorful adventure, especially with plans to add a Pekin rooster to your crew! As you embark on this journey, your curiosity about their coloring and potential crossbreeds is perfectly natural. So, let’s dive in and explore the vibrant world of Pekin colors together! 🐓✨

Pekin Bantams…. What colour?

I acquired these two Pekin hens (and 3 Wyandotte GL hens and 1 partridge lace (?) rooster) for free on Facebook! Woohoo! now I cannot find a similar colour for the Pekins on Google… is buff partridge a colour…? Hoping someone could shed some light on what I would call the colour of my Pekins! Is it a mix? I’m a newbie & have only had brown shavers and Hy-Lines for egg production. New to heritage breeds and all these pretty colours 😍 I will be adding a Pekin rooster as soon as I build a seperate coop for the Pekins. I’d looove to have some advice on what colour Pekin roo I should get, I’m wanting to increase my flock but also have family members begging me to hatch them some chicks! Would love and appreciate any information/advice people could give me based on these pics, do they look like crossbreds or do they have odd colouring or any ‘defects’ per say, not that I would be attempting to show them but I’m so curious 😆😊 Thank you 💗💗💗🐓🐓
