Silkie thread!

They do look splash to me.

Ok so you think they all are splash correct?

They look silver partridge to me. Very pretty!

Ok and then you think they are silver partridge I was wanting to breed splash but I ended up with a complete different color with one splash rooster I didn't take a pic of him because he is a hundred percent splash.

@Benzie. And @Zgm12 neither one of you wouldn't want a white silkie rooster.

But either way I really like the silver partridge but I don't know how hard they are to breed. And either way I have to find a home for one of the roosters the one that I didn't take a pic of he is a roo and the last one opi took pics of he is a roo I might keep the splash one to breed with my mixed flock since everyone says silkies make beutiful mixes.

Can you keep 2 roosters without hens?

Can you keep 2 roosters without hens?

Absolutely. I have 2 x Roos in each of my breeding pens as a safeguard, never know when your going to lose one.

Any ideas on what color this pretty little lady might be?

And then any ideas on this pretty little lady?

And then what color is this handsome young man?

It's easy to mistake silver partridge for splash and visa versa . The only way to know for sure is to know the parentage, if they are blue then you have splash. Partridge should display black in the crest , tail and osprey feathers (hard wing feathers ) .

No, I have about 5 roosters I'm rehoming right now. Thanks for the offer!
