Thank you! I’m hoping her type will help improve my future lines! I’m no expert and still learning to evaluate but I think she’s got decent body shape and I just love her crest. Hoping I will get some quality babies from her❤️
Here is a picture of her back in daylight and another with the flash on. Also an additional photo of her day old chick down, I thought it might be helpful. I still can’t tell if she’s a regular brown partridge, silver or blue. She didn’t have any brown in her day old fluff.
Name ideas would also...
I absolutely love this silkie thread, does anyone know if there’s a Cochin appreciation thread similar to this one?

Ft. Gretchen and some of her silkie babies she’s raising indoors for me
On a side note, does the partridge baby look like a standard partridge or silver?
I didn’t know that about blue creams! That’s great! I’ve gotten a pair of chocolates from her and a blue. They’re beautiful. I can’t wait for the day that chocolate is an accepted color.
If you’re looking for shipped hatching eggs you can look on fb at Eddie Acres Silkies. She separates her silkies by color and the babies I’ve gotten from her are gorgeous. NPIP too. She has a few APA accepted colors like blue, black and buff but also other fancier colors like chocolate and blue...

You can keep chicks together that are no more than 2 weeks apart usually.
As far as Introducing to an adult group, I’ve always integrated as soon as they were fully feathered and ready to be outside, typically the earliest is 6 weeks. It also depends on how cold it gets in your area. I’ve had...
Beautiful babies!!❤️ It could be buff, but it’s pretty dark. Possibly red! The buff silkies I’ve produced are usually a yellowish orange as chicks. Where did you pick them up? Hatchery chicks are usually the more basic colors where as breeders are where you get more specialty or “designer” colors.
Oh my goodness, he’s incredible! I also find the unrecognized colors go quicker and sometimes for the same price as a high quality recognized color, simply bc they’re extremely unique! Mixing colors is truly like buying a box of chocolates. you never know what you’re going to get❤️ I just bought...
Personally I’d love to see babies from the duck wing looking roo in the first pic, but if your goal is color variety lil man would be my pic! Some stunning boys you have😍
Just wanted to show off my 3.5 month old partridge baby I picked up recently. Her name is snotty to match her nasty attitude lol! Let me know what you think😊
Ps: please excuse my coop, it rained the last few days and the girls drug in a lot of mud and pooped in their a ton.
