Partridge Silkies - Nothing else

What is the difference between a blue partridge and regular partridge? I can't tell which one Henley is.

I think she's a blue partridge, but I'm new to partridge, and could easily be wrong.

She looks pretty muted with blue down in person. Her dad is blue. Her mom is white or blue.

These little guys are blue partridge .

When you part the fluff, the down is a soft powder blue.

She looks like them.
This is a bad pic, but it shows her color a little better.

Pretty confident in saying henley is a girl

and not diluted, so she is regular partridge, not blue partridge. Blue partridge have blue instead of any black, they have a softer blue underfluff and the gold is usually more dilute (paler/lighter).

I want a couple of partridge hens in the spring. I live in Georgia where can I get them from that is reputable?

My new Partridge roo coming Feb 1st. Photo taken by his current owner. I will take another when he gets here. Wings look better in real life. He's about 1.5 yrs old. I also have an 8 month old boy.
I was buying a different one from her, but I like this guy's stance better.

Very nice! He looks to have quite a bit of blue in him.

Is lots of blue good? One of the things that attracted me to him was his vibrant blue tail.

Thanks!
