Your rooster and pullet 1 and maybe pullet 3 can't tell very well on her I'm almost 100% sure they are blue partridge unles those three pictures have something funky going on with the color they are the blue partridge the 2 pullet is partridge though! Which is fine theywill breed and through partridge blue partridge I've even heard so e people say they have got greys out of them too

Oh forgotthey are very nice birds well worth what was paid for them! It was a steal!

I like them two. Trying to learn a little about the partride coloring. Your rooster buy color standers looks like what I pictured in my head would look like am I right? Can the hen have a black head? I have one with a black head and one without. Looking every where for partridge standers in rooster and hen. Very hard to find.
I think you did a fine job.

You need to box up pullet #2 and ship her my way. I have a boy that would love to meet her.

Nope, they are partridge.

My garage was dark and the flash washed out the black coloring. I'm in love with them already!

She looks like a cheetah or leopard patterning. I should have sent you her other sister that looked just like her but I ran out of money!

I'm looking for another unrelated partridge boy this spring then for breeding.

In the Standard of perfection it says the plumage of the females head should be a "deep reddish bay" color.

I haven't had the partridge variety yet, soI'll have to read up more on the color requirements.

Congrats on your new Silkies! They are really pretty! Wish I could have gone!

I can't wait til they are all laying next Spring so I can get some eggs or chickies

They are beautiful, I have never seen a Partridge silkie before. I love the roos head and all of those crazy feathers. I can't imagine how those birds see anything.

For $15 a piece I would say you got an awesome steal!
