    Gray Silkies from Ideal Hatchery? Real Color? Quality?

    I'm looking for Splash silkies but saw these "grey" silkies...I know nothing about this color. Any help would be appreciated. I ordered 7 silkies from them this past Oct and ended up with at least 5 roosters so needless to say..not happy about that. One Hen or sure. Thanks

    Hi Terry, I am looking for pets mostly, but may try hatching out some chicks if one of my hens goes broody. It'll be the first time for me.
