Hey all!
I got some Silkies at an auction this weekend and not much is know about besides I’m pretty sure I have a hen and a roo for the darker colouring I got. I’m just not too sure what that colouring is? :oops:
Hoping some others could help me decide if they are Silver Partridge or maybe...
Hey y’all!
So I have a chick I’d like some opinions on. The mom was almost definitely a splash and the dad is a partridge. It has some of the partridge markings but it also much lighter than what I’ve seen. What do you think?
Hi everyone, first post here on byc!
When we bought this silkie the seller told us she was partridge colored. After looking at other silkies online and studying her coloring she seems to be a non standard color, like a mix between buff and partridge. She looks really light colored to me. I'm...
Hi Guys! Okay - I have 2 White Silkies BowTie (Showgirls) and they crossed with my Partridge Silkie. 50% are Bowties and 100% are Partridge! I hatched at least 30 and THEY.ARE.ALL.PARTRIDGE! Not one white! What's the explanation for that? They are absolutely adorable though! Here's a pic of one...
Howdy BYC!
Tonight was hatch day for the last set of shipped eggs for the year. I won an auction I didn't expect to win for some bearded silkies and, after using HatchBright liberally almost every day when I opened the lid, I had a perfect hatch in my incubator, my very first ever!
I am so...
I know that silkie chicks are more difficult to figure out the gender, but about how long do I have to wait until I will be able to tell? Picture of one of my newest flock members, A naked neck partridge silky named noodle.
I aquired a few Silkie eggs on part trade for some hens, and they started hatching this morning. They came from a pen with a Paint rooster, 2 Paint hens, and a Partridge hen (if I remember right though she was smooth, making her a possible mutt). I’m working with Paints this year, so I planned...

Thanks for looking!
I would love some help with my new sizzle babies. They’re currently just over 1 week old and I would really like to name them!
I would love names that really suit how they look. I’m thinking one will be white and the other partridge? White perhaps more frizzle? What do you think of...
So my two silkies, Friz and Porg, are four months (at a guess) old now, and still no guess on their gender. I'm keeping them either way, but I would like to know your thoughts? I think both may be pullets, otherwise my OEGB rooster Gary, would have attempted to fight with them by now(he's...
I will pay well for Partridge silkie eggs! I’ve had a tough time finding these suckers and my flock just isn’t complete without some :)
Thanks in advance!
I got these chicks from a breeder that likely had hybrids, but she thought were pure silkies. They are 2 weeks now and look to be growing in normal feathers. They have black skin and five toes. One has the characteristic dome head. Are they pure silkies or hybrids? They are already double the...
I have Two 5/wk old silkies. A white, and a partridge. I am remaining hopeful that the partridge is a pullet, but what do y’all silkie experts think about the started comb development on the white one?
Thank you very much for your time.
We have three silkies we need to rehome. One is a partridge and two are black silkies. One of the black silkies is a mix and has a single comb and is big for a silkie. We have had them since January and they were 8-12 weeks old when we got them. They have two extra toes instead of the silkie...
