Difference between cuckoo and partridge silkie

[EmptyNest]

Could someone please post a picture of a cuckoo and partridge silkie so I can see the difference? Thanks!!!!

Partridge is brown and a cuckoo bird is blueish silver.

Go to this page to see cuckoos- http://powderpuffsilkies.tripod.com/id11.html

and here to see partridge - http://www.livingstonsilkies.com/id3.html

both very different looking colours, there is no way to mistaken one for the other.
I personally have bred partridges for years(I just LOVE that colour), but sadly due to a weasel having killed all my non-perching birds I have given up with silkies.


Hope this helps,
Anna
