Never considered porcelain. Mine looked different than your chick. Two black strips on back from neck to butt.

My one and only, never had before silkie...was told a white or buff..but obviously WAY too early to tell sex; sold as straight run; so my luck, as it turns out,

is not the best, so I'm trying to not get attached..cause it'll prob turn out to be a roo...ugh...

But for now we call "HER" Puffle...
