Partridge Silkies - Nothing else

OK here is the head count pictures - 4 little partridges, a white, and a light gray with a white head. If you squint your eyes and hold your mouth just right you can see faint little chipmunk markings on the little white ones too!

You can click on any of the pictures to see them a bit larger if you want.

Oh my cuteness! It makes me miss my little ones from a couple months ago. They are teenagers now. They grow like weeds!! No wonder chicken math gets people so badly!

Those are just adorable! I picked my fav photos to shorten things a bit. I see another Dark Chick....

Thank you for posting, I almost forgot I took some pictures of Momma and her one baby today. Seeing those reminded me to edit them so I can share too!

Momma - you just got me all Dirty!

I took the babies outside today. Here is Henley In overcast natural light. Do you all see penciling? Is she still possibly a girl? She is 6 weeks old.





That is a male, pretty sure. Females don't typically have that much vivid coloring. Comb looks boy-ish too.

Same coloring as two of mine. Is this the down coloring that may be female? She looks like a little girl with all that Cleopatra eyeliner - LOVE it when they have eyeliner!!!

Pulled this out of the silkie thread. In this group shot I think Henley looks like a girl, but in the larger close ups with the bright copper red does shout boy. I've had a bright partridge baby turn out to be a little girl, so there is still hope.

Henley looks a little smaller also - are they all the same age?

I know. It's that cuteness that really gets us all.

The group pics are more accurate to the coloring. I didn't realize when I uploaded the close ups she looked so red. She isn't shiny coppery like the close up pics make her look. My camera isn't great. lol She is the same age as all but 2 of them that are a week and a half older. The blue on the far left, and one of the blacks are 8 weeks. Henley,and Gracie the splash and the rest are just under 7 weeks.

It's the outlining part that gets me. I'm no good at it- lol These are great!!
I apologize if this is not the same program that was suggested for free. I could not remember what thread I had gotten the info from. The listed free art program put loads of viruses on my laptop and added a tool bar. It took my husband hours to clean my computer up. I do not recommend loading it AT ALL. I use an air card for internet and it cost me a lot of money in overages because of the viruses this "free" program was running things in the back ground.

Again, apologies if this is not the same. Just thought I would share my experience and wanted to let you guys know whoever downloaded it as well to check their computer for viruses.

For me, it was one more lesson that nothing is "free"
 

I thought this might be the thread to ask this question. I really am not sure what combo produced her, but I would love to make some more. I contacted the breeder and she did not know how I ended up with this color either. I think it was something hiding under the white roo that I no longer have. If bred to a blue roo would I have any chances of getting more like her?
She just had a haircut before this pic. A whole new world for her that day
