What kind of silkie chick is this?

[thiebert]

I have a black silkie roo over a black silkie hen. My columbian Rock went broody so I gave the eggs to her. Now she's the mom of 7 fluffy bums. I sold the 7 chicks prior because I have enough silkies. Just wondering about the light colored chicks. What color/kind are they? They have the markings of a partidge but not the color!

I'm pretty sure its a partridge, just that the chick isn't old enough and the colors will change.

I was hoping for a silver, oh well

 

[2chicksagain]

oh well, sometimes when i hatch they don't turn out which breed I want them to be either

I do think silvers are pretty good lookin. I prefer partridge personally, though

 

[2chicksagain]

They look sooo cute

 

[thiebert]

Thanks. I'm new to this and feel bad for taking babies away from there mom

 

[2chicksagain]

Yea.... That sometimes happens to me too but I just tell myself that if I don't then the chicks will die because nobody will feed them.

I think I'm going to leave mama hen with a couple and sell the rest. I don't have the heart to sell all her babies right now

She looks like she could be a silver partridge. It's the best of both worlds!!!
