Partridge silkie color question

[jen5680]

So I hatched this beauty last fall and I can't remember if he is from my partr roo and blue girl or partri to partri.
I stoped useing the blue a long time ago bc it was to hard to keep track of all the off color chicks.
The pictures aren't that good but I am wondering if he looks blue partr or regular partr. He is really black with just a
bit of the brown colors thru out.
Thanks!

The difference between partridge and blue partridge is whether the black is dluted to blue or not. Other colours should remain the same. The pattern should remain the same, and yes, there is (or should be) a considerable difference between the patterns of a male and a female.
