Silkies Of A Different Color

Pics
I have this pullet, she is 5 months. The breeder didn't know what she was, said she was supposed to be a partridge but changed and she wasn't going to keep her so she gave her to me for free. I say she's a light partridge, but anyone else have opinions?
 











I'm guessing this is a blue partridge roo, but do they have black spots like this little one has on his back?

I have two of these very similarly marked guys from a pen with two buff Silkie roos and one grey and one splash hen. This pen has produced a 1 Columbian, 2 buff Columbian, these two and one dark porcelain (I think). The porcelain looks just like the bird in post #811.

Hmmm, I was thinking that since a Columbian had popped up that lavender might be present in this pen. I thought I had read on another thread that Columbians seemed to pop up in Lavender pens?

So would the silkie pictured just be a blue or a splash with autosomal red? Is it just too hard to know from a mixed pen?

I was intending to have a pen of grey silkies and ended up with a mixed bunch LOL.
