7wk Silkie, interesting color.

I still can't figure out this bird. She's very different than the other "partridge" chicks I've got. I think she's a partridge, but I can't get pictures that show her true color. They all make her brownish feathers look more red than they really are. Her under-feathers are dark blue. Her hackle feathers have a bit of a pattern on them, and I hope you can see it in a couple of these pictures.

Is she just a regular ol' partridge? Blue partridge? Mixed color/unknown? What do you think?

These first two pictures are most accurate for color:

And these give you an idea of the pattern on her hackle feathers:

If the "black" feathers are really blue, then she is a blue partridge. However that is not a recognised colour, and if she fits the definition of partridge, that is what you should consider her dor exhibition purposes; however, for breeding, if she carries blue, you should be aware of it and also inform any purchasers of her offsping.
