Silkies Of A Different Color

Oh, good to know - thanks!

If I breed him to a white silkie hen, what are the most likely colors any offspring would be? considering his parentage...

I'd love more like him! out of 4 babies with the same parents, 3 were white and he was the only colored one.

Here is Tyler - father of my buff baby posted above (Oliver Mongfoot).

BEST. ROOSTER. EVAR!

How much frizzle do you guys think he carries?

I rescued him over a year ago so he's about 4 now... we love him to pieces

I had no idea that Tyler WAS a partridge frizzle - he's got silkie feathering and those strange frizzle feathers everywhere, LOL

Are you sure?

Impossible to not fall in love when you see and hear him...

Here he was last autumn, coming out of a molt (frizzled tail feathers not grown in yet):

He crows like mickey mouse

PS: TK Poultry aka Tyler: that is too funny! Love it

technodoll~~not 100% sure, but Tyler certainly has the coloring of a Partridge silkie beneath all of those frizzles

What about when you get partridge out of a BBS pen? I've gotten a couple partridge chicks. The older 2 looks to be one blue partridge and 1 regular partridge. If bred to other partridges, will they breed pure?
