Here are two Blue Partridge chicks that I hatched 6 weeks ago today. So far, they are looking very promising, I think.

Very pretty Debbi! The one on the bottom looks so soft - almost like a lav partri.
I need to get some pics of mine...they are about the same age as yours.

The female came out of a Splash hen! Not a Splash Partridge, but a plain old Splash, and her father is a very dark Blue with gold leakage in his hackles. The father was hatched with the typical Partridge stripes, then turned dark blue as he got feathers in. The lighting kind of fades out her color, she is a very light blue though, with parti penciling on her wings.

Just in case anyone may be interested. I have 24 Partridge Silkie eggs in the Crazy 24 Hour Auction ove in the Chickenstocks section. Hope it's ok to post here. If not please delete. Thanks!

She Indeed and not only for the eyeliner. The peppering on the wingfeathers is also typical for a partridge female.

Ok, I am so confused!
I have a chick that I bought (the one in my avatar, Peepers) because I thought it was a partridge. this chick did not have one chipmunk stripe on it at all, and its wings and rear end were greyish. I bought it at 2 days old.
Its overall coloring has stayed the pretty much the same, but it has what you called peppering on its wings. could this be a Hen?

And what color partridge would it be considered, with the brown and grey parts? If it is typical for a part hen to have the peppering, would a roo NOT have that pattern?
What would be the possible color outcome if it was a hen and put in with a black roo?
Dang, I knew I should have gotten the other one that lady had.....

These pics are almost 2 weeks old now, and the chick is about 10 weeks.
Thanks in advance....I am hoping for a hen

definitely a partridge and unforunately it is not feathered out enough yet for me to give you a good guess on sex. I can't tell until they have gotten their feathers in on their necks and started developing a crest (usually for me 8-11 weeks but some take longer to develop )

I'll get more pics of Peepers tomorrow. It is almost 11 weeks, and has changed a great deal since these pics were taken. Its crest is crazy now, and was just starting to come out in these pics.
Thanks Jessy for the reply!
