Silkie thread!

Ah, that is pretty. However it is not Silver Laced - it's Silver Penciled.

I think with silkied feathers it would be called Silver Partridge because the penciling will fuzz out unless the chick gets smooth feathers like its momma. It does look like it is getting the Penciling on the wings.

Do you know what the cross is to get that coloring? Its really pretty.

I have a Sizzle x Silkie that looks as if it might have smooth feathers - and the proper Partridge markings. Will be interesting to see how close the Partridge Silkies actually look to Partridge patterning on other birds.

Here SHE is with a Partridge Wyandotte Bantam chick about the same age:

You can see the pattern on both birds.

OK I got ya....silver penciled it is! I will ask the breeder how she got this hen, will let you know!
 
Yes I wasn't sure if that was the comb or not. Lol why do some have that and others do not?
All silkies have combs, but roosters get the larger and more wrinkly ones most of the time. Some hens can get larger combs, and some roosters can have smaller combs, but typcally a rooster will have a larger, mroe wrinkyl comb than a hen. Here I will show you
