I would have to agree with you. The dark one is most definitely a cockerel - just going by color alone. I can't tell with the second one, but doesn't look partridge to me. Maybe a mix of colors. I can't tell either if it's a little girl or a boy... 4 toes, I would get rid of it at a pet. Not all Silkies go broody, so even if it is a little girl, she may not set for you. If you do get rid of it as a pet, make sure the people are aware of why it is pet quality.

Oh, I forgot to tell you, I live in HIles which is about 30 miles SE of Eagle River. I have cousins up there and that's why we moved to the northwoods. I love it.

MrHeinz77 your cat seems very interested in that cockeral - how is that going?

I saw that too!

My cats are 14 years old, never looked twice at any of my chicks all these years. Now that I have silkies again the females seem to be watching them

I have a Partridge Silkie - got the egg from CJs Exotic Silkies Fall sale and she (hoping) hatched a week ago yesterday. Here's a picture of my one week old partridge.

Here she's on the left in the back - 3 day old

Here she's closest to the camera in the chicken huddle - 3 day old

Here she's at the feeder - 2 day old

1 week old - won't stand still!

The cats can't get to any of the chickens. They are wherever I am though, like flies on manure.

You should try doing chores with them around your feet. At least I don't have a mouse problem.

I may have to get me some silkie eggs so I can hatch some silkies out! I bet you the family would love them.
