I thought Partridge Silkies were Brownish-Red?

I’ve seen many, many photos of Partridge Silkies and they’ve all shown me wide varieties of light Browns to dark Browns along with some Reds and Blacks too… 🪶
— When I bought, Sassafras, my partridge Silkie chick, he/she looked just like all the partridge baby chick photos I’ve seen as well, like the cutest striped Chipmunk ever! 💜
— Fast forward to the Present, at almost 3mos of age, Sassafras has no light or dark Browns in sight, nor any Chestnut or Reds… He/she is Black/grey and what I would call Silver
— I’m enclosing photos: What color would you guys say? I’m so in love with him/her! Sassafras has the BEST personality, just loves to held! (Also, any guesses on hen or Roo? Might as well ask while I’m at it, right?! 🫣🧐)!!

So adorable! That color is called Silver Partridge, a very beautiful color variety in Silkies! She looks like a pullet to me, can you send a pic of her whole body?:love😍🥰💚

Silver Partridge - Thank you!!!! 👍🏼♥️

I definitely will tomorrow!
I wanted to include a whole body photo as well. — We couldn’t get a good one today at all... the little stinker!!! 🤦🏻‍♀️

I’ll include the only clear one I got; it has my Blossom in it as well, my Black Silkie who raised Sassafras. You won’t get much from this photo tho, you’ll see… LOL! I’ll post a serious one tomorrow ;)

We hatched these little silkie beauties yesterday from a purebred pen of only white, black and traditional partridge silkies, roosters are only white.
Could these be silver partridge chicks? They almost remind me of emu chicks with coloration.
I was not expecting this but so excited to see what they turn into.
We have hatched out buff silkies in this same pen thinking it has to be white roo x partridge hen.
Any ideas?

I’m thinking there’s a real good chance!! Looks a lot like my Sassafras, which ended up being a boy!! — A wonderful little guy!! LOL!😉
