    Definitely partridge! Usually around 10-12 weeks we can give a good guess on gender

    I have light, light partridge hatch from my birds. They are all blue partridge; initially I thought porcelain as well, but genetically I don't think that is possible. After getting her adult feathers in, it came to me - since breeding blue x blue can give you splash, that must be what it is...

    Yep, those are partridge! I have a bunch of down colors crop up in my partridge breeding, including the two that you got.

    When breeding with blue, you will get splash. They look almost blue-cream/porcelain, but are actually splash partridge. Not sure if there is another term for it. If you breed two blue partridges, you will get 1/2 blue, 1/4 black (regular partridge), 1/4 splash.

    Looks like partridge to me. Maybe blue or splash partridge. I had quite a few hatch last year from my blue partridge group.

    If you don't find one, I am giving a young (16 week old) cockerel away. He is a dark blue partridge. His father is was from CJ Silkies. He is a big guy with good foot feathering. I'm in Vermont but would be willing to ship. I am NPIP certified but not AI tested.

    How do you distinguish a splash from a splash partridge? All the chicks are so light I was really confused! They are all lighter than the Lavender Ameraucana from the same hatch

    Help me figure out what color these chicks are! First full hatch from my birds. Father Mother Some of the chicks About 2/3 of the chicks are born with stripes so I assume they will be partridge? But I also have had 3/7 hatch out without markings...?!

    Even with a "splash" partridge? I can't seem to find any pictures of this color variety, only splash.

    I can't remember reading this anywhere, but because of the BBS gene, could two blue partridge's produce a splash partridge? Does someone have a picture of a splash partridge chick?

    I love Silkie chicks! My pullet started laying a couple weeks ago and I decided to place a couple in the bator. Not fertile yet!
