Silkies Of A Different Color

Blue partridge, I get quite a few of these cuties

I ordered 5 partridge silkies from a hatchery and they sent me three grey, one black and one white silkie... suffice to say I'm not going to order from that hatchery ever. I just want a flock of full bearded partridge silkies, - is that so much to ask!?!

My last hatchery order, I got some standard sized Cochins, I ordered blue, barred and splash. They sent blue, barred and white. I got one extra, a splash :/ Always best to go to a breeder if you can manage it. You get better quality AND you actually get to see the chicks you're purchasing before you buy them!

I got two beauties from the latest poultry swap, who've been filling out nicely. I'm told that the first is a calico cockerel. Not sure about the younger chick.

4~ week oldish



7 weeks



The other chick, estimated 2 weeks



5 weeks now



They are, of course, best of buddies.

Anyone know what a blue/cream/porcelain mixed with partridge will give me? I have a little girl that I was told as lavender... And now I'm thinking she isnt. I have two choices: cross her to my black roo or put her with my partridge. I like the partridge idea more.
This is my girl:

And my roo (please excuse his tail feathers... We had a heat lamp issue early last winter...):

I am also interested as I am planning a partridge x blue.

I was given silky eggs of unknown parentage. Here is a picture of what I think is a splash? It is with my black and my paint. What would you call this color? You can see that it has black feathers hidden among the gray ones.

He looks like a splash.

Here are 2 stunning anomalies we've come across over years of breeding, a deep red and a blend of "everything".

The colors only came out on roosters. That's father and son in bottom pics.

Can anyone tell me what colors my silkies are sort I'm new to silkies.

Rooster

Hens

Was sold to me as a hen but I think it's a rooster.
