I have 8 lovely silkie chicks that hatched today.
2 black
2 paint (I think)
2 partridge (the chipmunk striped ones??)
And 2 unsure but they’re light brown and medium brown colour, any idea on the colour when they grow up?
Thank you.
Also it’s confusing so the cockerel was black running with black, white, paint and buff hens, how did I end up with 2 partridge?
thank you!

Hi,'
I can't help much on the colours, but as partridge is recessive your roo and at least one of your other hens must carry it, meaning that 25% of their chicks will hatch partridge and 50%
will carry it.
