Am I a blue partridge silkie?

What do you think??? Sorry about the picture quality. He is definitely not a normal partridge as his down is more greyish/silver looking.

Personally it looks that the first chick and the second are two different birds. I don't raise Partridge but I think the 1st looks normal the second not so much. Are the 2 different peeps.

They look the same to me, where did you get it?

I hatched them from a pair I got from Bobbi. Yes it is 2 different chicks. I accidently put 2 different chicks on here lol! The first one is the one I am talking about. He looks just like the one on the bottom pic but the lighting makes him look more like a normal partridge. Let me add a better pic that shows his color better.

He may just be normal or both parents had blue recessive genes, so some will be blue partridge.

Blue isn't recessive.

Blue isn't recessive.

ok, I knew there was no possible way I could be right LOL

I am trying though, so what is it when both parents have the blue gene
