    Are they blue or black?

    I've never had blue silkies before. They're lighter than my blacks and seem to have a light grey undertone. One is green and the other is orange (color of their leg bands).

    Should I buy this Silkie rooster?

    What is everyone's opinion on this rooster? He is a May 2017 chick and I am told he is Black.... I realize he isn't show quality, but for a first time Silkie breeder (hobby only! No showing) how do you think he would work? Would you buy him? (He does have the correct number of toes)

    What Colours Are These Silkies

    I’m wanting to buy blue and silver silkies and found some 5-8 weeks old, but the seller isn’t sure who is blue black or silver, any ideas on which ones I should take? Wanting hens if I can get them so any ideas on which ones might be ladies are also greatly appreciated

    Do Rooster Silkies have combs?

    Just wondering what the color of the comb of a blue silkie and white silkie is? I can’t pinpoint which one or two are crowing. But I think it’s the one with a black waddle and no comb. I have two with black waddles and one with red comb and waddle.

    Blue Color

    "Genetically, two Blue Hens will produce 50% blue, 25% white, and 25% black offspring". Is that statement true? Blue colored pure breeds are the following I think: cochin andalusian australorp jersey giant delaware silkie brahma leghorn english araucana (tailed) orpington
