That is why I usually don't put boxes in with them. I have a pile of 10 in one corner of a stall as we speak! lol

I don't know if they're the same, but they look like it. I believe the coloring is slightly different? Experts?
I was calling Kyla grey, but someone said she was silver partridge.

I'm a newbie to Silkies myself...

I was told its two different standards, my understanding Gray standard doesn't call for any penciling like partridge does. BUT most birds called Gray out there look Silver partridge with the penciling (Just like a Gold partridge just silver instead of gold)

The name Partridge comes from the ground-color eb/eb (= Asiatic Partridge) from the E-locus which have also the original gene e+/e+ (= Bankiva Partridge), eWh/eWh (= Wheaten), ER/ER (= Birchen) and E/E (= Extended Black), all these ground-coloration are based on gold (s+) or on Silver (S).

EU Silver Pencilled Partridge Silkie hen (pencelling only on hens)
Genetic-code eb/eb S/- Pg/Pg

EU Silver Grey Partridge Silkie hen (no pencelling on this hen)
Genetic-code eb/eb S/- pg+/pg+

For grey, think of a black and white photo of a partridge, and you are on the right track.

Here is one of mine:

As you can see this beauty have not the gene for pencelling Pg/Pg and that is why she is called a Silver Grey Partridge.
