Select "multiple laced partridge brown," then go to the S-gene and change the gold to silver. That is silkie grey; it has other names for other breeds: silver partridge, silver penciled, etc.

If bred with splash you will get blue partridge not sure exactly how S or s affects that; blue silver partridge? At least sounds pretty, but definitely not a recognised (I was going to say approved

) variety.

If a grey male is bred with partridge females, the daughters would be grey; sons het. for S--technically golden partridge. I suspect that at least one of my partridge boys is het, but I cannot tell--it should show closer to grey, but that doesn't match any of the phenotypes.
