You might want to check out the chicken color calculator to see what you would get. Silver Penciled and Partridge are relatively rare, so I'm gonna guess not too many folks have ever purposely crossed the two.

I have experience with crossing SP and Partridge wyandottes. Whatever the male is over the other will be what the females look like. The males will resemble a Golden Duckwing in color.
here is a pic of the SP/P cross male I had over my SP females a few years back. This cross will give you approx. 50-50 of each variety.
Hope this helps you out.

Yes I did have F2 with the cross. The progeny would come out either SP or Partridge. The SP males would have a little tinge of brown on them but not alot. Used this to improve the type of the SP very successfully.
