What color silkies are these?

[Diamante]

Hello,
I was wondering what color these 2 are and i'll also show off my 2 blues. They came from Buff, Partridge and Splash parents. I think they are 6 weeks old, how much longer till we can tell genders?

Thanks for any help.

Your right about the blues

those first two both look like partridges the first is much better show quality... thought the buff coloring in the hackles is not very much perferred for showing and the second has way to much buff. But they all look to be growing heathly which is good

i have quite a few silkies that size as well good luck with them

Oh and about deciding gender you might be able to that by now... look at theyre comb if it is large it is a boy the girls will have more of a flatter comb at this age

OK thanks. I was hoping i could show the first one. I love the color. Good luck with your silkies also.

Partridge pullet followed by a partridge cockerel. Blues are too young to tell; the feather patterns tell it on hte partridges.
