What colors are these silkie cockerels?

[EllieandOlive]

Are they both variations of the same color?

Are they considered gold birchen or blue partridge, or just leakage?

I am keeping #2 to breed with as he has the best feathering and comb.

What did their chick down look like if you got them as chicks, or hatched them?
They could be blue Birchen, but also may just be leaky blues.

I have to go back and look. I took pictures. Hatched them from my own flock.

Here they are as day olds.
Dad is a black with a tiny amound of gold leakage around the head.
Mom is either my partridge or my blue.

They're definitely blue.
So, they're most likely just leaky blue.
