This is one of our 3 new babies that i think actually had the partridge momma and daddy. They are fast little squirts running all around so I didn't bother trying to get all of them. My partridge roo is daddy of all but 3 I think. My wyandottes I know are matched we had them separate. The buff silkie appears to have the Cochin roo we use to have. I didn't know he was old enough to actually be a daddy but since she has light feet there is no other option... Should be a few interesting mixes we hatched but I'm thrilled with the partridge wyandottes and happy with the partridge silkies too

.

This is the other one our friend hatched for us. It's about 4 months old now and not too thrilled I woke it up

I'm with you baby cakes!!!! Chick hatching is just WAY too much fun. Mine just have started hatching and it is so exciting... We are all just like expectant mothers in labor while waiting for the chicks to work their way out into the world. I love it.​

Partridge is a recognised colour. Other variations (yellow, red, light, dark) are simply descriptive terms. Silver partridge or Silver is also recognised for some breeds, and is the same pattern, but silver, vs gold based. Blue partridge, chocolate partridge, etc. are also descriptive terms identifying genetic colour dilutions.

This are the recognised Silkie colorations in Holland :
Kleurslagen zijdehoenders
Wit gebaard Wit ongebaard
Zwart gebaard Zwart ongebaard
Blauw gebaard Blauw ongebaard
Patrijs gebaard Patrijs ongebaard
Zilverpatrijs gebaard Zilverpatrijs ongebaard
Parelgrijs gebaard Parelgrijs ongebaard
Buff gebaard Buff ongebaard
Koekoek gebaard Koekoek ongebaard
Rood gebaard Rood ongebaard

Note : in Europe are recognised "big" Silkies and "bantam" Silkies !!

Kriel wit gebaard Kriel wit ongebaard
Kriel zwart gebaard Kriel zwart ongebaard
Kriel patrijs gebaard Kriel patrijs ongebaard

Kriel parelgrijs gebaard Kriel parelgrijs ongebaard
Kriel buff gebaard Kriel buff ongebaard

As you can see the "paints" are not yet recognised in Holland.

Can you repeat your colors in english hun?

Also how much bigger are the "big" (standard sized?) silkies compared to the bantams?
