I'm hoping to keep my numbers down to just a few Silkies.
My Silkies are my pets, and I want to keep each one spoiled!
However, with BYC auction and the possibility of chicks... that's not going to be easy!

No, not the case. Stripes in partridge are no indication of sex, you get various colored and chipmunkishly marked chicks with partridge, blue partridge, and even the greys.
Good thing on partridge as opposed to other colors is you get a fairly solid idea of gender around 3 months because they color in different, chick down doesn't matter
you will get near solid khaki/tan colored chicks with striped eyes to your chipmunk who looks JUST like a chipmunk. Or you will get really pale striping even.
