I'm think about buying this trio of grays. I was just wondering what you all thought. Do they meet the standard? Thanks for your help!

The first two are pullets and the 3rd is a cockerel. Thank you!
 
They all look nice. I especially like the second pullet.

I don't have the standard but copied this from another post about the apa standard for grey Silkies.
" comb face and wattles are mulberry color, black eyes, slaty blue beak, shanks and toes slaty blue:
Male; head, dark grey;hackle light grey streaked with darker grey;back, chinchilla grey; saddle same as hackle; tail;main tail sickles and coverts same as back.WINGS- shoulders fronts bows and coverts same as backPRIMARIES-slaty grey with center shafting darkerSecondaries-slaty greyBREAST-lt greyBODY AND STERN-same as backSHANKS AND TOES-slaty blueUNDERCOLOR-smoky grey of a shade not darker than top color"
This is from APA standard of perfection Book but not word for word or spelling; it is for the male"
Female seems mostly chinchilla gray,primaries and secondaries-solid even shade of slaty grey, Breast-lt grayHackle-lt gray streaked with darker gray"
This is from the APA standard of Perfection book but not word for word."

Thank you fluffyfeathers. I paid for them today. I'm very excited. She said she hopes to be able to ship next week! My son shows so they are a surprise for him.
 
so will this be a true gray? i have another from my stock that produced a partridge pattern w/o any red-so perhaps a silver partridge out of that one? how much can grays vary for show classifications?
