Grey Silkie Chick?

[neener92]

I got 2 grey silkie chicks from Ideal Poultry, but they look more like partridge silkies. ): I'm new at this and I have no clue how to put pics on. I would like to see your grey silkies as chicks and grown up!

I will look for pics..but ive had gray chix that look like partridge (stripes & dots) when theyre very young & and ones that start off solid bluish..

I found a pic of an older gray chick..you can still see where it was yellow with the stripes like partridge have.

edit- found more pics in a folder, in a folder of grays..heres little gray chix

** ive also hatched them looking blue, then they start getting the lighter colors in a few weeks.

Thank you for the pics! Are their feathers on there wings supposed to be dark and light brown, will they change to a grey as the babies get more feathers?

The weird thing about the grays ive hatched..i nevr knew they were gray until they looked it..i just thought they were either partridge or some odd color chix..weird

Males can carry one copy each of silver and gold, and look in between partridge and grey. The girls are one or the other as this is a sex-linked gene.

So it's possible for them to look partridge?
