I have 4 silkies about 6 months old, the sweetest pets ever. I believe 3 of them are what's called partridge so looking to confirm that, and the 4th I'm not sure what the color is called, just gray or something else? His little head is a darker shade than the rest of his body. Thanks for any help!

I'm brand new to silkies and I only have the one in my profile pic but your roosters colors are absolutely stunning. The turquoise in the tail feathers is very cool.

Do any of yours have trouble seeing from the big fluff on their head? Mine can't see at all. I trimmed him yesterday but I need my husband there to help. I tried a beret but he wasn't having it.

My little ginger colored hen maybe can't see great, but she manages, lol! My mom used to have silkies and we would put a little rubber band to hold their poofs out of their eyes.

Hello! #1 is light blue. #2 is partridge. #3 is also partridge. 4 is partridge, but not great partridge example. Probably breed with a dark blue. Not quite sure.https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/apa-silkie-chicken-colors.79766/
