Partridge silkie pullet...need opinions

[Three Cedars Silkies]

Regular partridge or blue partridge?? Looks to be a blue partridge to me but since I don't raise partridge, I defer to those that do!

Pullet is 5 1/2 months old.

Pretty Bird!! I kinda think blue partridge as its not a deep black on her head

Any other partridge silkie folks have an opinion on this pullet's color?

I think she is a blue partridge I see alot of blue where there should be black.

Appears Blue, but i have had a few like this that when they went through their yearling molt darkened up alot. Now they look like the all the other Partridges.

This is what I've been told by another partridge breeder. So you really don't know if you are raising blue partridge or black partridge until about a year??​

Pretty much!

It is a blue partridge. If it darkens with a molt, then it may be able to be as regular partridge, but it is still genetically a blue partridge.
