I picked up a few chicks brought to the feed store from Heartland Hatchery yesterday, and am wondering what color this silkie chick is. The guy said it's a partridge color, but I've been looking up silkie chick colors, and it doesn't look like any in any picture I've seen. So do you guys know what color it is? Or if it's just a mix of colors? Sorry the pictures aren't the greatest...I took them with my phone of my camera, 'cause I don't want to put them on the computer right now.

Okay, I got some new pictures to help you be able to tell a little easier.

In pictures 3, 4, and 5, it's the little one on the left (I'm clarifying it for you since my BLR Wyandotte chick looks similar to it colorwise).

I'm pretty sure shes a buff silkie... but the only thing that makes me think shes a mix color is that her back is a little bit brown/gray... She's Adorable by the way! The other are too!:love

Happy Henny, thank you so much for the response! I appreciate it. :) Yeah, I guess she probably really is just a mixed color. She's very snuggly with her flockmates, too, but SO stinkin' loud...my adult silkie(s) are fairly quiet.

LOVE your naked neck:lol::lol::lol::lol: The silkie is probably buff. maybe lavender or something.
Thank you, guys!
:D Yeah, the naked neck is SO small, barely bigger than the silkie baby...she's also getting a little bit of white and brown on her wing feathers. It should be interesting to see how this batch o' chicks feather out.
 
I got updated pictures of the silkie now. I know the lighting/quality still isn't reall good or anything, but hopefully it's good enough (it's hard to get a good picture of Dr. Fuzzy Pants because she's constantly moving).
Hopefully you (silkie) color experts will stop by and share your guesses. Also, her poof was really slow in coming in, but finally one day recently it started popping up, and it looks so silly.
