She is awesome!
Partridge Silkies - Nothing else

She's cute. I love their big looking feet.
I haven't actually bred silkies for almost 2 years. I'm paying for it now with fertility issues. Most of the eggs are duds. 1 growing out of 28. All chicks are precious at this point and I need a younger rooster. The 1 silkie that hatched 3 months ago is a female even though I was begging it to be a boy.

@Hinotori Amber Waves is always giving away free male chicks guaranteed DNA-sexed.too. Wish I still lived back on my folks old farm just to enjoy the crows of roosters again! Amber Waves says it's too hot to ship right now but they have DNA-sexed chicks year-round and could ship free males in the Spring. Shipping isn't free but the chicks would be free! They have all colors. They've always got new DNA babies year-round.
Pics of my Mohawk porcupine girl -- 4-1/2 weeks today
She's Partridge & DNA-sexed according to AmberWaves but I've never seen a Partridge color like this. She's so smart -- chases, catches & eats crickets of all sizes, plops down at the drop of a hat to sleep, goes for rides w/ us in her little pet carrier, pecks at my keyboard keys while I type, eats organic non-GMO produce, chick crumbles, Greek yogurt, crushed raw sunflower seeds, and will steal vanilla ice cream from my spoon! It's been 3 years since my last chicks (Dominiques) but this chick is enormously smarter and I didn't think any breed was smarter than our outgoing friendly Dom chicks. Named her Amber after the breeding farm name.
I'll post pics as she grows.

I have a very dark partridge hen. I thought she had a black mutation for a while until she started getting more adult feathers around 12 weeks. In the shade she can look black. In the sun she's obviously partridge just dark.

I’ve currently got this three week old partridge who’s looking nice so far, feathering in as female from the feathers that are visible. Going to be a little poser when older!
@Fur-N-Fowl What an adorable cutie !!!
@Hinotori - I took a couple pics of my chick's wings & they have defined Partridge speckling. When I bought her color wasn't my focus but still interesting to see what develops. She is so incredibly tame and loves tucking herself under my hand -- I must be her chickie mama?!

My very dark hen. It was still fairly bright even though the clouds rolled in. You can really see the partridge markings very well on the neck.
@Hinotori She's GORGEOUS! Love the doting Shepherd too teehee!
I suppose our Amber is going to be a dark Partridge like your sweet girl although I really didn't want a dark color -- in our brutal SoCalif summer sun the beautiful black fluff turns rusty red.
Color wasn't my primary focus -- TY for your dark Partridge photo -- our new baby girl is so darn smart and super super friendly even before we started socializing her and personality is always a winner w/ me..
Speckled wing feathers.
Her Mohawk is twice bigger today than it was yesterday!
