Silkies

[Hillsvale]

Please help me identify these silkies

one black with red feathering around her neck
one crazy coloured red/mottled colouring
one mostly red with a black mohawk... (I think this is a male with waddles starting)

They are from the same parents....

one looks like a blue partridge do they even make that color???

 

[Hillsvale]

well your a big help!

She is charcoal grey with what appears to be a red feather boa that has been used so much over the years there is only a few feathers left... these babies are just so cute I can't stand it... they are out at 5am and up until we shoo them in (mot nights... the others are no where near as interested in being out that early... they were out in the rain this morning! Just when someone tells you something they don't like to do... you look in the back yard and there are the silkies doing just that!

The darkest one looks like a pullet. The other two may be cockerels. Can you get better pics?

Hi Lil peeps, these guys move so quickly its hard to get a good pic but I can try!

One of the red one's is a cockeral, a black mohawk and some waddles forming... they are 12 weeks old.

The other two are hens... I think

I was wondering about their colour name... ie: partridge etc. ?

 

[LilPeeps]

They are all partridge. One or both of the lighter ones may be blue partridge.

OK... confused now... two of them could be blue partridge?... I thought the grey/black one would be considered blue. Are they partridge because of the multi colours?
