Sure can, here are the chicks I got from a red partridge over light partridge.

Last 3 pics are the parents .

Gorgeous!

Kind of hoping this boy colors out a lil more. Very dark partridge and he has the proper black breast. He's only about 5 months old though and hasn't finished his juvenile molts.

I love that gold hackle! What does his saddle look like?

If your black is actually a blue, then blue- blue could produce splash. But I've never has white chicks from my blues. Have you got any pics?

Ignore the bigger gray chick on the far right.

Broody just hatched 3 yellowish chicks.

I have like 10 of those older cull cockerels running around the yard til they fill out more. Mis-colored blacks or partridge...whatever they are. There's a local swap on the 16th and will likely become Asian cuisine if they can't find pet homes there.

Hope you can find someone that wants Silkie pets . That's a lot of feed for a few ounces of dark meat soup.

Does this look like a 2 week old Silkie? When I bought it, that is what the lady said it was but it doesn't look like my other one who is a little older. It's just as big but not as fluffy.

I would call that black or blue with gold leakage. I have a hen like that from crossing partridge over blue.

The lighting in that pic makes the roo look like he has leakage around the hackle. The chicks could be blues.
