Hi, I am wondering if this is a "calico" colored silkie AND if it is a lf it is pullet or rooster? I just picked up a few new silkies and this one is stumping me more than the others. Any info is much appreciated! Thanks!

Looks like a porcelin to me...blue with orange, or in this case blue splash with orange. Where did you get your calico silkies? I've been wanting some for a long time. Thanks, Erika

This one is from a lady in Oregon who has a plant nursery, they don't have a real breeding program. I thought it was a rooster but, it has been sitting on an egg for a few days. SOOOOoooo, hhmm.

BOY OR Girl? Calico Silkie...Here are a few more pic of HIM ? HER (?). So IT likes to sit on the eggs in the coop (possibly laid one
), and it gets a peck and chased off by our buff silkie. It seems like it may have streamers coming off the head at certain angles...possibly pin feathers bigger there? Not much of a comb at all, but I see a tiny bit of pinkish color ebbing into the comb and it is our largest silkie. It has a bit of a different screech than the others when it gets hassled, who are girls they almost make a honking sound.
I am of no help in this area...I dont want a rooster crowing here, where we shouldn't have one. I just love the silkies so much!

WOW what a awesome bird!
I was wondering if you think my 6 month old patridge silkie rooster will be good quality? This is my first batch of silkies, and I am thinking of breeding to show.
