She is so beautiful and she does indeed look sweet! What color partridge is she considered? I see do many different partridge colors that I'm sure there must be different names for them!

She is so beautiful and she does indeed look sweet! What color partridge is she considered? I see do many different partridge colors that I'm sure there must be different names for them!
Thanks I think we determined she's a wheaten colored partridge. At first I thought silver, but she's always had brown in her to. I got some opinions and tried to find pics online to match her and couldnt find many but the best description seemed to be a wheaten colored.She is so beautiful and she does indeed look sweet!What color partridge is she considered?

Im not sure.. I dont think it was really short.. I had her for a few years an when i moved I sold her to some one I kept some contact whith and dont remember them losing her early on.I've heard that from others who said they had tiny silkies. How long did yours live? They also told me they didnt live as long, which made me sad. I hope I dont loose her only after a few short yrs. I dont care if I dont get any eggs from her. I just really like her and hope she'll stick around for a while, she's such a sweetie
If I had a Silkie that incredibly precious (and I do) I would schedule a well visit with a vet (one that likes chickens like my vet) and get input on her overall health and raise concerns about lifespan and whether there's any detriment to not ever laying eggs, etc. My vet charges $40 for well visits and occasionally we get local coupons for discounts for him. We've been lucky to have him - he's pulled my Silkie through a couple times already this past year.I've heard that from others who said they had tiny silkies. How long did yours live?

Im actually not sure if its a correct classification either lol I wish I knew what her parents looked like to! I got her locally with a bunch of other chicks/colors. But no parents on sight. You get alot of people who order in chicks or incubate their own to sell, so you dont always get to see parents. She was so tiny, and so cute as a chick. She was a light cream colored partridge with thin chipmunk stripes, and a cute tall vault. I fell in love with her. I didnt expect to get this color from her. She's been a joy to watch. She's different from all my others. This was her as a chickThat's exactly what I was going to guess, but I wasn't sure it was a correct classification. She's beautiful! Did you hatch her from your own silkies? I'd love to know the parent colors
Well she's adorable! I'm going to order show quality partridge silkie eggs this fall if I can find a good breeder selling. I'm hoping for silver and I love this Wheaton color too. I love all the partridges tho!Im actually not sure if its a correct classification either lol I wish I knew what her parents looked like to! I got her locally with a bunch of other chicks/colors.

I had one hatch that was a similar color and was also told it was most likely Wheaten based.Im actually not sure if its a correct classification either lol I wish I knew what her parents looked like to!

So cute. It's crazy how much the partridge color can change. They can look the same as a chick and still change into something completely different.
