What color is this Silkie rooster? Partridge?

It is a Cuckoo Silkie for sure. I have a few.

I think they call it frosted maybe.

I've heard it called white cuckoo as well, and also (same small group of folks) claim that the white cuckoos without barring are carriers.

WOW, very cool!
I hadn't come across pics of the cuckoos yet. I did look at Jens website. They are beautiful birds!
I hadn't even planned on getting any yet. I've been looking for lavenders. My husband is a mail carrier and called me yesterday afternoon and said a customer had some silkies he needed to get rid of because his son wants them gone and come get them if we wanted any of them. He didn't know what color either, the way he was describing him, I was thinking a splash. We went over later in the evening and all I thought was he's gorgeous and I want him and figured take the hen too. The price was right.

She was in with the five roosters so who knows which roo, if any, fertilized the eggs. I'm going to be seperating her with the Cuckoo so I know for sure and see what happens.

Thanks!!!
