Silkie thread!

This little chick has a porcelain mom & white dad. I'm guessing pullet & anxious to see how she matures. Not sure if she would be considered partridge?

I have some from a dark porc cock and white hen and they have look kind of like blue partridge. Some looked very much like your girl. Is the underfluff a light blue or lavender color? If so I have a few that look like her growing out as well. She's gorgeous!

Does anyone know someone in Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, or North Florida that has any Silkie chicks for sale?

I have some buff/lavender silkies that are 13 weeks and black silkies and showgirls that are 9 weeks old.

Thanks tjo I might enter the photo in the calendar contest. Yes, adorkable she has lavender under feathers. I have never had one this color & can't wait to see her mature. The story behind this one is fun. I almost threw the egg three times & each time my intutition said to keep it awhile. I have learned to listen to that! My porcelain hens are last years chicks & I figured they were too young for my one rooster who has eight other hens. Then it went over due. It hatched the next day after the last time I was going to throw it. What a lovely surprise! I would love to see pictures of yours.

I have 2 pure bred silkies with straight combs, it can happen. They have the bright blue earlobes, correct feathering and skin color. I think it shows up from time to time because white silkies were the only color then colored came later. We have 7 silkies at the moment 2 have straight combs, they cant be shown but they are still beautiful to me

I think they look like a dark blue and a splash to me.

What about his head fluff looks like a boy to you? I would say you probably can't sex them yet for about at least another 3-4 weeks ... some of them you can't tell until they either crow or lay an egg. Silkies are tricky lol.

They're very cute

Thank you! I think what I am seeing is one chick has a vaulted head and one does not after looking at your photos and comments. This is my first time owning chickens so I am learning something new every day.

I have one white roo with a straight comb, out of 10 silkies, his skin color is correct too.
