Partridge Silkies - Nothing else

[Fur N Feathers]

I have actually crossed my bantam lavender Ameraucanas with my silkies. I'l hunt some pictures for you. I have crossed my Seramas with silkies also. Both crosses have made some doll baby chickens (but of course I am very partial - as I always am with my own chickens).

This is a three generation shot (not flattering of the chickens though so over look that please). Father, daughter out of a partridge silkie, then bred back and she had a lavender baby.

Half Serama half silkie - I call her Road Runner (she has silkie feathering crest tuft)

This guy is gorgeous and my pictures don't do him justice. His feathering is just incredible and he is the Ameraucana partridge silkie cross again. I would love to have a silkie with this coloring though I don't know what it would be called.

Dang, those are soooo cute! Love the first picture with the three generations and the Lavender little. I guess if you were wanting to create your own Self Blue Silkies you have a good candidate there. Cross her/him to a black Silkie, cross the splits back to her/him until you get the silkied feathers again with the lavender gene. Hopefully the pea comb and the walnut comb make the walnut comb again and you get the 5 toes, blue ears, etc back..

Road Runner looks like a quail! Too cute!

I think the last guy would be called golden duckwing - not an accepted color - but would be really pretty!

Do the Silkie cross hens lay a blue egg?

Ok, proud new mom can't help herself. I have to post pictures of my babies. These are our very first chickens. We received 6 from a hatchery almost two weeks ago, two were silkies. It was obvious that one was white, but we weren't sure about the other. We finally determined that the other was a Partridge. We named her Pardgy. They are all doing great and are precious. We aren't near as knowledgable or experienced, but having fun nonetheless and enjoying all of your pics and posts.

Partridge Chicks are my Favorites!

Soooo CUTE!

If the Partridge is Pardgy - is the other one Bess?

What is Bess for (forgive my cluelessness)? We named her Winnifred. For some reason it fits her perfectly. She is so delicate and feminine.

Well when I first said it I said Porgie - and there is something in my memory about Porgie and Bess... free word association I guess.

But Winnie would work too - or Winifred if you are being formal, Maybe with a White bird you need to stay formal. I dunno... I like Partridges!

That is so precious. My first two silkies I got just a few weeks ago I called the one I thought was a girl...Winni...and the one who I think/thought was a boy...Fred lol Just to make up Winnifred hehe. Sadly I lost Winni last week

Had to get Fred a new companion so now we have Cheekie Cheeks It was harder on me than I ever thought possible. Since then I have also learned SO much from BYC and gotten 4 more babies , 2 are 4 days now and the other 2 are 3 weeks. Will post pictures soon. Winni was a silver partridge and I wish to have one again someday....just not right yet. R.I.P. my Winni baby <3

 

[Chicken Miller]

Goodness, so sorry to hear about your Winni (we are calling ours Winifred, the formality seems to suit her

). We are new to this and still stress about everything they do. It would crush me to lose one now. Any idea what happened to yours???

Good night everyone. I'm new on byc and also new in the Silkie world and on top of that....French speaking.

So there is a couple of abreviations I don't understand but working on that.

I live in Québec Canada and got my first pure white silkue last year. I bought hatching eggs this year and got 1 white pullet 1 black roo 2 black pullets (I think) and 2 partridge 1 roo 1 pullet. When they were chicks they had the stripes on the back. But now as they are growing looks different than partridge...well for one. I learned that she was silver...but do I say silver partridge or it is not partridge? I also have one..a boy I think...3 months and a half with red ...can you help me on this...do we call him red partridge...silver red partridge or just ...partridge?

Thanks for the great topic...
