Partridge Silkie?

[ChickieBooBoo]

Is he a pure partrige Silkie? my flash wasnt working so that pics arent the best, sorry

Holy cows....what blender got ahold of him? Pics are too dark to tell much. He could either be partridge or a smutty buff.

Agreed. Looks like a hatchery bird !

 

[ChickieBooBoo]

I got some hens from a guy around here and he threw in the roo for free

sorry to say but he looks ruf

hard to tell from pic but he dose not look like the right color to be partrige

 

[ChickieBooBoo]

He was just drinking so he is a bit wet around his head, thats why he looks a bit scruffy

That's from more than just being wet around the head..... It looks like he got a lil too close to a burn pit. I'd be checking him over for mites/lice definitely. Nothing left of his crest/cushion. The rest of his feathers have that ragged, work look that can either come from a severe bug infestation or a really bad overcrowding situation.

WOW!! Poor little guy.

I imagine this boy has had a rough life. With some time, a good bath and blowdry, treated for mites/lice and some good food, he will look like a different bird! Even his color will look much nicer when he fills out. He also may have just molted.

I can't really tell if he is a partridge, but he does have some partridge coloring.

There is nothing wrong with him...he'll be a wonderful pet for you. I'd love to see pics of him in a few months!!

There is nothing wrong with him except he was a bit wet, I just got him about 2 months ago and a new pecking order needed to be established, thats why his tail looks a bit ratty
