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 guess as f1 and no boys...

I wonder what these would look like silkied (Dom White Silkie Roo + GLW)

all have hard feathering, one has misscolored shanks/comb (pale), they do have nice toe spacing and 5 toes all one foot, one booth feet and are good broody mothers...

...

No boys means I'd have to start over... I also still have Mom, but dad took on a possum...

-If someone is interested LMK...

chick form one of the mothers with an 'EE' father, correct toes, 5 each foot, colored shanks and skin... but a snake got 'it' (I killed the snake).

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.

I'd say they are blue partridge as well!

Beautiful!

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.

What color are the parents of this chick?

They are a crossing of my Mottled bantam cochins and my Black silkies F4's This was the 1st offspring hatched and is feathering out lovely

As much as the mottled cochins change this should be an exciting chicky to watch

Unless the silkie already carried mottled, the chick is not mottled. It is a recessive gene that requires two copies to show. Mottling may show a bit in juvenile plumage, but nowhere near the extent displayed by this bird. If he IS mottled, he would be considered super-mottled. He looks more like a paint...

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