    What color is this silkie? 13 weeks

    The darker one is 13 weeks and seems to be a pullet. But her color is unlike what I’ve seen before. I say she’s dark chocolate with ashiness but my husband says more black/salt n pepper coloring. She is beautiful and tiny and a little skittish. Always has been. Fairly certain she is a girl. But...

    What breed are these chicks? They are supposedly silkies but… maybe Frizzle and standard or mixed?

    Do I have a Frizzle? Also, does the yellow one have standard feathers?! Did I get something other than a silkie here? (Total novice) About the chocolate colored one - I noticed the one baby has a bit of curl to her/his feathering! Since I’ve never had a frizzle of any kind, I am asking those of...
