Gray Silkies?

I had asked one time before, but didn't get a clear answer. I am trying to decide how to split up my silkies. The two listed above are gray and the rooster has a touch of brown. Should these 2 be in the partridge silkies or separated by themselves?

You do NOT want the red/brown that the rooster is showing. It is a DQ, and very difficult to breed out. So pair your grey hen with a partridge cock. Her daughters will be partridge (inheriting gold from their partridge papa), her sons will be golden partridge, inheriting silver from mama and gold from the partridge papa. Mate the sons back to mama and you will have some silver offspring (both genders) as well as some golden sons and some partridge daughters.

Thanks!

So he shouldn't be mated with anyone, correct?
