Silkie question

[FlowerDragon]

I have three silkies that I'm confused about. The black has a lot of gold leakage on it's head and neck. The pied one I was expecting something more mottled, and the spangled, I was expecting something more like the silver spangled hamburg.

Will the black lose the gold, or is it really a partridge?

Does the pied look like it has mottled gene, or am I just really mistaken on what I thought it was going to look like?

Is the spangled right or is it a mix of something?

Any input is much appreciated!

Can you get individual pictures of each bird? all look mixed type to me, none look like proper colors. Pied looks to me a cockerel.

How old are they? If they are more than 8 weeks they are most likely to stay the same patterned in my experience

It's dark out now, so I'll have to wait until tomorrow to get some pictures.

They're 14 weeks old, so I guess this is how they're going to look.

The “black” is black with leakage (which is a pretty common Silkie color), probably black x partridge. The other two are pretty much partridge.

Thank you. I knew they weren't the colors they were supposed to be, but I didn't know.

From what I can tell I agree with @RoostersAreAwesome.

More photos would help.
I believe pied and mottled are essentially the same. Mottled being the word used most with chickens. These are not normal Silkie colors though you may find these with some project breeders.
