Are these Partridge Silkies or Buff Silkies?

I was told these were Buff Silkies, but I'm pretty sure they're Partridge Silkie Chicks! What do you think?
This one is the lightest and the smallest silkie chick.

Those are not buff x partridge. They are simply buff that will have black in the main tails and likely the primary wing feathers and other areas of the body. It is possible for this smuttiness to fade with each molt and you may be left with a beautiful clear bird, although looking at the quality of them, they will likely keep some of the black.

Buff x partridge would show much more prominent striping in the down. These look like typical hatchery buffs.
 
So the smallest silkie and my favorite silkie are both Buffs ... and the third is a Partridge?? Did I hear that right?
