Can someone please help me this is my thought to be female 5 1/2 month old Silkie Zoey. he/she has recently grown much faster and a much larger, HUGE comb and wattle. he/she has what I think to be streamers and the male tail feathers. he/she is no where near as social as the other female and dislikes people. I'm not sure the only other rooster I have ever had was a huge Delaware that started crowing at a very young age. these two are also the first Silkies I have ever owned. we started off with six Silkie chicks (one being severely disabled and dying very young) and are down to two. here are the pictures

older from pic 2 months ago ignore me I look horrific its hard to look good while an angry chicken wont hold still for the picture
todays pictures
not very good but it was the only ones where he/she looked straight at the camera

My grandkids were here last night. They helped me feed the chooks. They took one look at Jaffa and said ' nanna why has that chook got no eyes and what's that growing on his face? Poor Jaffa turned his head on the side and just looked at them. I think he's georgous.

Is there a chart that shows what you should get if you cross partridge to other colors, or what to breed for partridge? Like the one for blue/black/splash that I see a lot? Mainly, I wondering if I breed my partridge to a black hen (with a dad that had the partridge gene), will I get some black with gold leakage? Reason I'm asking is that I would have my black split lavenders hatching out also, and don't want to get other blacks mixed in. Am I safe to breed partridge to partridge and get all partridge? My female partridge is blue partridge. I'm not sure if my new roo is "normal" partridge, or blue partridge. I get different answers. Thanks!


My black pullet- she's all black. The pic makes her look brown in places.

I always get partridge , when I mate partridge to partridge . My blue /black bearded hen with my partridge roo gives me different results. I have blue with gold leakage and blue / black. I also got one silver partridge from this crossing.
