What is your best guess as to genotype of these birds? The colours are accurate. Note that the cock has the same pattern throughout his feathers as the pullets. I am not sure this is actually the multiple laced penciling of a partridge silkie because of this, but not sure what else it could be. The cock is the father of the two other birds, and was paired with various other partridge hens--not sure which of them is the mother, but definitely a regular partridge as compared with his blue partridge(?) colouring. He may carry lavender, but I don't think any of my partridge hens that he would have bred with do.
I am not 100% sure that Pullet A is a pullet, but that is the direction I am currently leaning. However, I purchased the cock as a pullet about 20 months ago--he was probably 4 to 6 months old at the time. I didn't identify him as male until 4 to 5 months later. Pullet A is nearly 7 months old, Pullet B a couple of months younger.
