*This is seperate from my other thread on gender*
so I have 8 silkies total. My Roo is a silver Colombian, but I just got 2 paints, three speckled blue and 2 black chicks. I just wanted to double check the name of the color types to see if there were specific names they went by or different ones as well since I am new to silkies! So first off I have 2 black ones but one has different colors on its neck. I believe it is called leakage but what type of leakage would it be?

its a bit hard to see but compared to her sister it’s very noticeable.
Secondly, for the speckled blue ones, is that the official name for them? This is what they look like.

The chicks looks like a silver partridge, but I've had chicks with that down color end up be partridge Brown.

I don't see the leakage on the black silkie.

I don't see the leakage on the black silkie.
Here is a pic of the speckled blues for reference. I was thinking partridge too based off of the pattern but I just wasn’t sure.

Also the leakage is very faint in the picture but in real life it’s pretty obvious. There’s a lot of white around it’s neck and it’s head.

He looks like a Silver Partridge. I don't see the blue you're mentioning.

What's with the purple smudging in the picture?
