Partridge Silkies - Nothing else

[rainbowchick]

You won't see streamers for many more weeks. That is just their crest feathers coming in.

I'm just showing my observations. I'm sure most people would not call them streamers, it was just the easiest word for me to use for what I was seeing. I figure my observations may help someone else sex their silkies...

Ready for a dose of cuteness? Slipped five peeps to my broody Frieda in the night, and now she's a proud momma to these fluffy butts

do silver partridge breed true? i have several from eggs i have hatched. i also have lots of normal partridge and even what looks like a lemon partridge . i would like to concentrate on the silvers and not bother with the normal ones-but if i need them i will. also -wouldnt crossing a silver and a normal create auto sexing?

I'm such a silkie newbie that I don't know if I have a brown silkie, partridge, or something else. He/she is 8 weeks old. Any help?

Partridge Silkies - Nothing else.....??

....so what about paint...well this....LOOK AT THE FEET






can there be such a thing as a paint partridge? note the neck, the black pigment is there! Yes this is a pure silkie.

here is an updated photo of Button, i think its a she and she looks silver partridge

and the pigment in the neck and feet did grow in, so i still think a paint influence is there since this happens to paints

I'm looking for some Blue Partridge Silkie hatching eggs or possibly chicks. Preferably hatching eggs tho. Does anyone have any they'd be willing to ship?
