What color is my silkie hen?

[FeatheryFeet]

I have had Henrietta for about two years and I still don't correctly know her feather colours.

I don't think just 'brown' cuts it.

I could be wrong, but her color looks a bit like Partridge to me.

Hmm.. She looks a bit lighter than partridge. I think she could be porcelain? Not too sure..

Hatchery partridge, or maybe partridge x buff if from a backyard flock.

I agree.

I found an image on the web that looks quite similar to Henrietta, they call it a 'blue partridge'? Please correct me, I could be wrong..

The only difference between blue partridge and partridge is the blue gene. One copy of blue dilutes black to blue, the remainder of the partridge coloring/pattern remains the same. Yours does not have blue (going by tail feathers in the picture you posted) so she could be partridge. Are you sure she came from a pure color flock?
