Hello and please help
to Bryonie!!
I am not silkie expert but I had similar coloured rooster and they were a cross between a Partridge and a White Silkie, I think it's called Birchen?? I found a picture that looks similar.

Thank you both and wow, the picture is similar. Never heard of a Birchen. I will have to investigate.

Birchen generally have silver hackles and silver on the wing with a black triangle when folded....

Sorry, can't add anything useful to solving the mystery, but it's a pretty chicken!

Yes, did some investigating and seems he is most likely a partridge Silkie although his breeder may have been aiming for a birchen perhaps?

Hello and please help
I'd agree your beautiful little guy is a Partridge, but he's darker than any I've seen
