Hi everyone! Not new to chickens but new to breeds other than BYM or your standard feed store dual purpose/layers. I recently decided to work with silkies as well as one other breed. I want to learn the SOP and breed towards it I decided to begin with a black pen for silkies .. I noticed that most of the flashy colors all fall back to a quality black gene pool. I have sifted through quite a few babies this spring and when a local breeder offered to grab some chicks from a reputable breeder upstate I was ecstatic! I only purchased 2 of these babies one is solid black and the other is something they referred to as a "reverse partridge"? I have searched for this term everywhere that i can think of but have only come across reverse paint with no explanation to what it is. Does anyone have a clue about the color of this chick? I can post pics but it looks like an average black colored chick with a slight bit of silver leakage that I am reluctant to call anything other than chick fluff growing out. I can post more current pictures in the comments thread once the sun comes up this picture shows the chick at just a couple of weeks old
