Silkie thread!

what do you get when you breed a white roo with a partridge hen?

read what I said earlier to another member (results will obviously be different)

it all depends on the color genes that white is hiding, since most white silkies are recesive white they could be hiding any color under that, for example I need my white rooster with my buff hen and got a pair of greys, aka silver partridge, (although the cockerel looks almost like a Columbian) all that means is that my rooster is at least silver based possibly silver partridge but since I got a really dark partridge from a black roo to the same hen it is more likely that the partridge genes came from the buff hen, possibly the Columbian genes too, in which case all the white roo did was change it from gold based to silver

When my only silkie rooster (WHITE) breeds my silver partridge hen I get silver partridge babies.

Do you have any pics of silver partridge chicks. Around 2-3 months? I've got a chick which is a silkie EE mix but "she" looks to me like silver partridge.

She almost looks Porcelain with Blue Leakage. Or atleast from what I could tell, though I'm just a begginer ^^. She is a beautiful silkie though, where are you getting her from? I would love to buy a similar silkie once i sell my other 2 in fair, and trade the rest (accept for my favorite, Quinn, because she is my favorite Barred Rock) for fertilized silkie eggs.

I bought her from a breeder here in SA

There was a mix up and I ended up with these two fuzzballs, any idea what colour the light one is?
