Silkie color questions

[nadinarae]

Hi! I am wondering if you can help me figure out the color of my Silkie hen. I have been doing research and would love to breed to my partridge colored roo, but I’m not exactly sure what color she is as she isn’t all white, but doesn’t look like the paints I have seen.. I am curious to know what the babies would turn out to be! We’re trying to avoid getting all roosters like the first set of chicks we got from our local farm.

I have no idea what the colour name is, but she is beautiful!

Hi there, welcome to BYC!

While it doesn't look like any standard of perfection color I'm familiar with..

with what little I know about breeding blue.. I'm gonna go out on a limb and call her a splash partridge.. perhaps!

ETA: if the rooster is a standard black partridge then all offspring would be blue partridge. If he is blue partridge then they would be 50/50 blue partridge and splash partridge.

Oh wow! That is so interesting! Thank you so much for responding, as this has been a question in my head since our chicks started to grow!
I have another hen that I am questioning the color of, and online it says she looks more like a gold birchen, or maybe just a dark partridge ? but I have never even heard of the color before and don’t know what the difference is! I’ll post a pic below of her as well.
I feel like all 3 of my chicks are difficult colors to figure out.. Or I’m just new and learning .

Thank you so much for all of your information! I really appreciate it!!
