Thank you for the info.
What is this variety below? I found this picture on the internet and I love that roosters coloring.

Hey there! I’ve seen birds like the cock on the right referred to as “red split to silver”. He would produce both silver and red partridge pullets, and I think should produce red, silver and silver with red cockerels.

That's what I was wondering if the silver cockerels where carrying gold.
I've never heard it called red but doesn't supprise me.
What you're describing is silver/gold genes that are sex linked. Males can carry gold and appear silver. In my experience they never quite appear silver since they get a yellowish tinge.
A rooster carrying gold can pass silver or gold to offspring but for a chick to hatch and appear gold it would have to have gotten a gold gene from its mother also.
The rooster in pic is not a silver split to gold or what you're hearing as red split to silver.

I wasn’t 100% sure that’s what I had red a few years ago when some breeders were in the beginning stages of silver partridge. I don’t know much about silver partridge though, and my knowledge on partridge is minimal

Here is one of my Silver Pencilled over Gold Pencilled (Partridge) K's this year. This is not the brown chicks color I was referring to previously though the chicks hatch out looking the same as that.

The gold showing is not autosomal red, the reddish brown down on backs of these F1's when they were chicks is a direct result of crossing two varieties, Silver and Gold. Again, not the reason for red/brown down seen in pure silver chicks (both parents being Silver).

Any who, this fellow will finish out with what I'd call lemon hackles and saddle feathers, gold to red shoulder via the Partridge influence and have the green wing band of both varieties. He's around 20 weeks now, not showing well in this weeks cold front, but what you'd expect from crossing a Silver and Gold Pencilled aka Silver and Partridge.

I had a Silver Partridge Orp Roo and that is not the color. Unfortunately I lost him. I still have his sister. I have been looking to track down where the breeder was from where I got these and it was in New Jersey. Anyone have any information on where to get some Silver Partridge Orpingtons? Please share.
Here is a photo of the hen. She is now approaching 2 years old:

I am hatching out some silver partridge orps in hopes of setting up breeding pens and I also bought some chicks from the woman I bought hatching eggs from. And she said every once in a while her silver partridge chicks will hatch out a chick with red down instead of silver. What causes this and what will the chick look like?

Do you still have your silver partridge Orpingtons? Do you sell eggs? I’m desperately trying to find some.
