Silkie coloring?

[Gilderoy Peckhard]

This is Beulah, my 'partridge' silkie. She's a month and 2 weeks old and I'm starting to wonder if she really is the color I asked for. The last picture is her on the right next to a 'red' silkie. Again, not sure if it's actually red. Thoughts?

I've had a partridge chick before that looked nothing like her:

Blue partridge, maybe? The red chick looks like it is mixed with blue also. It probably means the parents of these chicks were different colors, resulting in mixed coloring. That's not uncommon with Silkies.

It seems like you're right. It's just hard not to be frustrated, because I got these from a hatchery, who apparently didn't really understand the ins and outs of chicken breeds and colors. They are just a hobby flock though, so it's not too much of a loss.

Which hatchery? Most hatcheries only have bbbs or buff.
