Well, I know what breed I have and I know the gender. But I'm not super familiar with silkie colors, so I want to make sure I keep the right ones for my god daughters who would like to show silkies in 4H next spring.

I had their eggshells DNA sexed and these are the females that I hatched. I know I have a black silkie and a white one and I *think* two silver partridge. But I'm not 100% sure on the other two.

Is this chick a splash chick? The egg that this chick came out of was labeled from Papa's Poultry's blue/partridge silkie pen. It's obviously not partridge so I'm thinking splash since it's so light. But on first glance I almost thought lavender.

And this one: the pattern is a little different than the other two silver partridge chicks. Is this a partridge pattern?

Yup you got it right.
Black, white, silver partridge, Paint (splash) and partridge.
All except for maybe the SP can be shown to my knowledge.

Awesome! I was hoping that was the case. Would you say the one in the last picture is regular (APA) partridge or silver or blue partridge? I don't believe silver partridge or blue partridge can be shown in 4H. Their chapter only allows APA breeds/accepted colors.
