I need to know if he is Silver columbian.
And if I can cast him with silkie partridge.
Im new please help me.
I was told he had long legs jiji that he must be a mixed silkie
thank you

I would call that a Columbian coloring. He's not pure silkie though.

But you can breed him to a partridge. Just not certain what you would get

He's good looking, but I agree, not a purebred bred silkie.
You can breed him if you want, but I'm not sure what color he is and what his babies would look like.

Looks mixed breed, maybe Silkie x Brahma, he's a silver columbian.
Being a mixed breed, you can breed him with a silver partridge hen, but you won't be sure what color will be the offspring. Even being pure, if you mix some colors you can get some surprises because certain colors mask some genes which will maybe show up in the next generation (for example a black chicken can carry the lavender, the mottled or the chocolate gene, even if it's completely black)

Mixed breed. What do you mean, cast him?
