Would anyone know how/if you can tell if a Silver partridge hen is also blue? I have a couple of what look like splash chicks but my splash roo is only in with a Black hen and a Silver hen. I suppose there's the chance they're actually paint as I did have a white rooster in there too, but all...

While I'm posting pictures for colour ID... can anyone help me understand the colour of my NN cockerel is? I thought he must be Silver but what else is going on here? Is the red just leakage? Trying to understand so I can plan out my breeding better.

Thank you! I thought that might be the case... I can't really keep anymore boys but the blue will probably stick around longer cause I am trying to get Blue Partridges so I might have to keep him around at least temporarily.

@Hinotori I got some more pictures, if they're any good.

I'll have a closer look next time I catch them. Finally counted, 16 normal silkies and 5 showgirls.

@Hinotori I know you're very knowledgeable about the Partridges. Would you say these showgirls, one is blue Partridge and the other normal? I know the pictures arent the best :oops: I have so many babies now! I dont even know the number yet cause I haven't pulled the rest from the incubators...

Silkie (and showgirl) chicks hatching like crazy in my incubators right now! A wide variety of mixed colours, I cant wait to pull them and get a proper look!

I've got 3 Showgirls and one silkie chick right now. From the newest silkie additions.

Do these help? I seriously love this hen the more I look at her :love

I'll get that later today!

Also thank you I wasn't sure on the showgirl's colour, but that makes sense as it does look like my silver partridge roo.

Thank you! That was my suspicion, but when I asked the breeder what colour she was blue partridge was not the answer I received. I got her anyway on the chance she was as I've search quite a bit for some. I really love the colour now I've seen her in person!

After some drama, my silkies girls and my Showgirl chicks are finally here. I'd love some help with IDing the light partridge like silkie colour! She's so beautiful! Would she be a blue partridge?

My Polkie babies are looking really nice! Also turns out they're accidentally Sexlinked so two girls and a boy, which is nice! I'll be getting my Showgirls and a few hens this week too!

All three babies do appear to be Polkies :rolleyes:

Interesting. I did pick two pullets/hens from this breeder I believe, they're coming from a different state later this month I think it is. I got a buff (or red? What people call each confuses me...) and a funky coloured partridge that she wasn't able to give me a proper colour name (said...

Moorhead's the ones with black head right? When I was looking for hens I came across a breeder who only breeds the partridges with black heads.

I'm not even sure how many infertile eggs later I've gotten one to hatch! Catch is it's probably an accidental Polkie 😅

@Hinotori did you end up with any splash partridges?

I never had any issues with my showgirls. I'm hopefully going to be getting some again next month, miss having them.
