Cheetah Silkies-- What is going on?

[EllieandOlive]

I got these two silkie chicks (rural king/hoovers). I got them simply because they are different. Are they partridge?

They do have 5 toes. Skin is grey, not black.

Has anyone had some that looked like this to show how they grow up?

Yeah, that’s partridge

Yeah, that’s partridge

I have an adult partridge but have never seen a chick. Thank you!

Thank you! I've been working on it for a fair while! Adding in heavy purple blooms late this summer. (In my incubator now!)

That 3rd chick has odd coloring.

I thought so too. Maybe it is some sort of Birchen?

The first two pics are the same partridge.

I occasionally had phoenix chicks rhat somewhat resembled them, but I couldn't tell you what they looked like past the chick fluff stage of what was in the backgrounds or the birds other than possibly some OEGB blood.

I agree, now that I look at it. But I do not know why.
