She is BEAUTIFUL!!! Love her!! You can send her my way anytime lol....
You don't have any picsof her when she was a chick do you? I have a friend that is getting really dark brown chicks from
lav to lav and I am wondering if this is what they will turn out like???

I am assuming your talking about the first one right? The blue/buff/partridge LOL Whatever color she may be. I don't have a pic of her, but I do have some pics of some smaller ones. They hatch out almost black with some buff mixed in. The next ones I have hatch I'll make sure I get some pics of them. But, I am going to see what pics I have and I'll attach them for now.

I was going to give her to my partner SonRise Silkies, but my husband fell in love with her. So, Cheryl was kind enough to let me keep her for him even though I already said she could have her. But, I gave her 3 and one is turning out to be very pretty just like this girl. So, it all worked out. My husband doesn't pay much attention to the silkies (color wise), but he when he saw her, he talked about how pretty she was everyday.

This is the other one that I kept, but she has more buff throughout her body and she is a showgirl.

Okay, this is all I could find. No pictures of them when they were born, but I will get pics next time. I actually gave Cheryl 4 of these crazy colored ones and I kept two.

These are pics of 2 that I gave her. I'll see if she will get me some current pics of the 4 that she has.

Thanks for the pics! I will have to tell her to look at these and see if hers start looking like this as they grow.
They are just fresh out right now an itty bitty

I was told if you want to work on blue partridge that you want to use lav and not blue.
But I just love her (you no I'm crazy over partridge) and if you get anymore like that you want to sell put me on the list!

Jen,

If you get her to take a picture I am sure that I can tell you if that is what mine looked like at birth. I'll def. be hatching some more and when I get some more good ones I will let you. By the time I get more hatched and grown up to see their quality, it should be cool enough for me to ship. She just seems to get prettier and prettier the older she gets. I wish she had a little more cushion, but her's is not bad at all.

Blue Partridge it is!

I wonder if they will breed true if I were to keep a rooster? Although, I haven't hatch a rooster at all this color, they have been pullets.

Blue breeds predictably, but not true. Ditto for blue partridge (or blue anything).

Awww............ I was afraid you were going to tell me that

Here is some of my odd balls.

I always thought this guy was a black with alot of gold leakage but recently found out he is a brown red. No clue how he was made I bought him three years ago.

This cutie was hatched from the guy aboves offspring paired with a black hen.

this one also which is feathering in like grandpa so I am guessing another brown red.

My young buff roo who is striped like a tiger.

Not sure on this one she has gotten alot more of the dark red coloring on her I was told maybe she was Calico.

this girl was from a breeding of a Buff rooster and white hen.
