And, by the way, I have always thought your birds are wonderful. smile big_smile wink

Very nice Partridge Silkies Jen and Penny. It is good to see some of the nice ones I know are out there. We don't see many at shows around this area but a lady had some lovely ones last year at "The Heart of Dixie" show in Boaz Alabama. Like a fool I failed to get her name. I don't raise Partridge but love the variety. I struggle enough with Buff and Black. I think Partridge would send me over edge. LOL

Keep up the good work and I hope others see this post a show off their special ones.

Here's my little beardless hatchery silkie Fonzie - he just went to his new home yesterday sad and I miss his silly antics. He was about 15 weeks here. Although just a hatchery bird, I thought he was adorable...

Caretaker of a lovely mixed flock including: australorp, plymouth rocks, wyandotte, d'uccles, silkies, EEs, andalusian, and a few seramas, plus a golden retriever, great dane, and three cats.

I adore my partridge silkies. A few months back, my best pair were stolen from their cage and I am working with my backup trio and hatching. They come from nice showbirds although my roo is pet quality, he is throwing beautiful babies so I am hopeful. I am hoping to get a nicer more quality roo for breeding.

Life shouldn't be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty, well-preserved body. but rather, to skid in sideways, totally worn out and exhausted while shouting loudly "WOW! What a ride!"

My Partridge Silkie Rooster. His names Abraham Lincoln because he has a beard.

Pennie~~ THRILLED that you started this thread celebrate

Just love your beautiful Partridges; it's MY favorite color in Silkies too. You're right though---very few breeders show them (unfortunately). I always try to take 5 or 6 to the shows and am always surprised at the number of people who have never even seen a Partridge Silkie

I'll start with a couple of pics now, then add more later today...
