Hello, I have a hen that hatched out these two mostly silkie chicks, and I'm curious if anyone can identify the color or have had this in the past that maybe has a few adults? I can't find any photos that look like mine and I'm so curious as to what they may look like. They're white with partial chipmunk stripes, one is a bit more splotchy but not splotchy enough for paint

My roo is a mix, I know he's 75% silkie with an unknown 25%, potential for that 25% to be half silkie as well. He's mostly white with a bit of gold on his neck, black tail, black wing tips, and some grey on his back. Silkie feathering, five toes, but pink skin. He's unfortunately just lost his majestic floofy hairdo, but it's also fully white usually with a few golden yellow feathers on the back

He fathered the last three chicks that hatched out a few months ago, I got one egg from each of my laying girls at the time, blue, buff, and white, and got a solid blue, solid buff, and solid white chicks, they all remained solid except the white who now has black wing tips.

Mom is likely either my buff, white, or black silkie, but there's a small chance it's my blue (she just started laying again after hatching chicks) and a very very tiny but improbable of it being my blue partridge. I've never seen her near the laying spots or the roo flirt with her, and she's still young.
 
Chipmunk chicks in silkies will be a partridge. I've not seen a partridge that light before though. Perhaps that will be a silver partridge. In a few weeks it should be more apparent.

Very pretty!

Thank you! I'm asking mainly because I've never seen a white based partridge chick, I've spent the last three days going over as many partridge silkie chick photos/threads that I can find, and none are lighter than grey or beige.
