Black Silkie with White Chest/Crest?

[Kaittrahan]

Curious what yall think the grow out will be for this little one? I've never seen one with this coloring as a chick. Only Silkies in the breeding pen so not a mix

Probably going to feather out black. I sometimes get blacks with white chest/face/eyebrow markings. They grow out of it.

Chicks with white markings will grow out of it once they start developing their normal plumage at six weeks.

Yes, it would be cool for a chicken to stay as that exact color pattern but it is not possible for an adult to have white markings on black plumage like your chick.

The chick is not partridge, if that is what you are saying. It is black.
