Partridge Silkies - Nothing else

[jfaith51]

Hi Feathersprings,
Have you sold your Parti-Boys yet? I have one partridge girl named Cinnamuffin which I'd like to get a mate for. She might be a blue partridge because she was from BBS breeding pens? Should I look for a light or dark rooster to encourage good partridge coloring? There were times when I wasn't sure if she would stay partridge..........but I really like how she looks now. I want a breeding pen that gives very distinct partridge coloring offspring -like your baby chicks in pictures you've posted.

Here are pictures of her from chick to recent:
She is standing in the front (right side).

At that awkward grow-out stage probably a month old.


At about 2 or 3 months old.

Cinnamuffin now. She is such a sweety.

So, what do you recommend as a good mate for her? She just started laying eggs but I'm not incubating them because they are fertilized with my splash rooster and I don't know what their babies would look like. Maybe I'll do a test hatch just to see -but I really want a good partridge breeding pen soon.

Your Cinnamuffin is gorgeous!!

She is beautiful, yes she looks like a blue partridge. If you are wanting the Standard partridge color and are wanting to use her to get there you just need to breed
to something that looks like what you are wanting. One of the older boys is for sale as well as the younger one. the younger one has a partially fused 4/5 toe so will be selling him as a pet as the others are nicer. I have pretty much decided on which to keep.. hard because they aresooo much alike. You can PM me if you want more info..

I will send you a PM

Your Cinnamuffin is gorgeous!!

Thank you, both (Feathersprings & JFaith51) for the compliment. I can't take any credit though since she was a partridge "surprise"! Now, I want more partridge.

Your bird is beautiful. Feathersprings has some gorgeous birds and if you could get one of her boys, it would be a great start to your breeding program.

Yes, I'm thinking one of Feathersprings parti-boys would be perfect for CinnaMuffin. Fortunately, Feathersprings only lives 3.5 hours away in a beautiful coastal town. I'm hoping my family would like to take a mini-vacation up there sometime in the near future.

They are very beautiful birds.

Partridge Silkies are quite addicting...........Well, all my silkies are addicting. How can I help it when they all run up to me and wait to be picked up and cuddled every time I go outside.

Good luck your two birds would be great together!

I just wanted to share recent pics of my partridge and silver partridge girls. For some reason my other girls don't like these two so now these two have their own place.

I LOVE these silver partridge girls!!!!!

Do either of you have baby pictures of these girls? I think I have a new hatchling that might be a silver, I hope!!!!
