Definitely got some partridge babies going on.. you should be able to get an idea around 3 weeks when the body feathers start to appear. Sorry I couldn't help more.. @Hinotori will know.
 
Should look mostly silver partridge. If it's from a quality bred white it's a silver based recessive white.

Whites from paint breeding are dominant white which shouldn't be mixed with the recessive white as they get leakage. Recessive white does not. They also are gold based on many of the ones I have seen.

Mostly whites are partridge underneath because it's pretty much default chicken color. These chicks will all be carriers of white.

Because white chicks have been bred to be white on hatch, it makes them look like washed out partridge chicks when mixed with the partridge.

As adults they may look silver partridge or like a washed out silver partridge most likely.
 
A white chick hatched from partridge parents that are partridge back for generations but white carriers will be white with a ghost pattern of chipmunk stripes down the back.
 
What color is this baby anyone wanna help me out it’s obviously an EE but I’m finding it’s color beautiful!
