After some drama, my silkies girls and my Showgirl chicks are finally here. I'd love some help with IDing the light partridge like silkie colour! She's so beautiful! Would she be a blue partridge?

I would call that one a blue partridge if it were mine. The darker showgirl is a silver partridge.

Thank you! That was my suspicion, but when I asked the breeder what colour she was blue partridge was not the answer I received. I got her anyway on the chance she was as I've search quite a bit for some. I really love the colour now I've seen her in person!

Also thank you I wasn't sure on the showgirl's colour, but that makes sense as it does look like my silver partridge roo.

Picture number 3 definitely looks like it could be blue partridge

I have two, 13 week old, blue partridge pullets. The one is darker and has the moorhead. The other is lighter with a red head. This should help some for comparison.

They were not happy that I just went out and birdnapped them from where they were sleeping for pictures. It's too much of a pain to get an adult right now. The house with the teens is close to the back door.

The more I look, the more it looks like a dark blue cream (aka porcelain) with a moorhead. I had one once that was dark. It's buff with 2 copies of lavender. They can have more of a reddish cast over them.

The lavender partridge I've hatched have been more consistently lighter oddly than the blue cream and never had the red.

A picture in bright light would help.
