HI Letisha
This is my hatch from Mary's eggs and her line is throwing partridge

Freckle Face Farm in the blue/black? That is nice to know. So the b/b I have now may also throw partridge right? I did not want to cull them, but I do not want my eggs or chicks to throw partdrige. So this stinks!

Right now they are 5 weeks it seems and the one is the only one showing any and it would be the area where the hackles are. I wonder about the others now!

Most of these will be available, as many as I can get in the truck for the ride up. I also have a few White cocks that are carrying the Silver gene as well. Need to make some room for the Porcelains & Lavs!

Do you know the sexes of the splashes?​

I have splash but I'm going to get a new rooster from Bobbi because my babies are two light wit my splash rooster so I'll hold off on them. Here is a picture of him anyway.

I do have 10 nice hens in this color.

How am I doing for a newbee?

See that partridge hen in the last picture she came from Mary and I love her. Got a super nice gray from her as well but had to sale him, no room

yes it is a boy.

What color is this guy. I bought him from a BYC'er and was supose to be a splash. But after he was in the mail I was informed he had a little gold flecks on the back of his head. Anyway, Could I ger a color identification and what would I get if I put him with the other two? I'm just starting with silkies so it's all new to me.

These are young still, a color identification on these two would help.

One of these I think is a partrige.
My guess on the other two is lavender split and a blue. I may put the partrige one in with him too. I haven't decided but I want a b/b/s pen and partrige wouldn't belong in there. I'm thinking the roo (first pic) would be more suited to put with the partrige one. Of course when they all get old enough. The first roo has already been breeding so I know he can do the job just fine. Just where to put him.

Sorry the pics are bad. All I have is my camera phone and they won't pose for me.

Silkietime- They are BEAUTIFUL!

 

[secuono]

They are just too pretty!
I would love to get 1 or 2 hens of each color, lol.
Anyone near or in Virginia with these guys for sale?
