Why “Stippling” Would Erase the Partridge Silkie - Make it stand out You can see this is penciled/stenciled and not stippled. You can count 3 distinct bands on the right hand photo before the feather shaft shifts to slate undercolor. This feather was taken from the cushion, an area the ASBC standards committee believes it impossible for the penciled/stenciling to appear. If you look at the image on the left, you can see how the non-barbed feathers distort the pattern somewhat ,but if you pay close attention you can see there is distinct bands. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67a81c3acae22e2e8876c56d/2d3a7a07-de8f-46ba-8b82-a7ccfcb3557d/574898210_3691521771157368_2626939950478804240_n.jpg My thoughts on poultry - Partridge or Brown? Why “Stippling” Would Erase the Partridge Silkie - Make it stand out Here is a good example of the 2 differences. The bird on the left is a brown silkie hen from about 7 years ago. The bird on a right is a partridge silkie hen I exhibited earlier this year and took reserve champion featherleg with. You can see the bird on the left has no stenciling/penciling whatsoever, in fact this bird was indeed stippled. The bird on the right however is a true partridge and shows penciling/stenciling. You can the the distinct banding in the photograph. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67a81c3acae22e2e8876c56d/3a1a1dea-d0f6-4176-b7c1-9a42ff91bd8c/ABA+Summer+Newsletter.jpg My thoughts on poultry - Partridge or Brown?
