color

I’m attaching pictures of my 3 day old silkie chicks. Would love if someone can tell me or give their best guess on what color they’ll be when they’re older! Also can you tell if they’re bearded or not? I’ve labeled the chicks with numbers in red. Thought that may be the best way to organize it...

I’m just stumped on this one, I was thinking a splash silkie but the more feathers it gets the more I think otherwise. Do y’all have any Ideas? I’m super curious

What color are these? They’re supposedly 2 week old silkies and I thought they’d be white and buff but I’m new to chickens and their feathers are coming in different than I expected I guess 🤷🏼‍♀️ tsc bantam straight runs with feathered feet and extra toes. I think the black on the first one is...

Okay so pair #1: Both produce normals or black white flighted babies. That's ALL they've ever produced for me... well to be fair they've only thrown me 6 babies but still 😂. It seems their one baby is turning white?? Like, not sure how to explain it (you'll see in the photos) (Pair 1) Baby's...

Here is my Smokey Pearl, Pearl. Just courteous, why are her comb, waddle, and legs are black?

I was wondering on if anyone has experience with blue australorp personalities. I adore black australorps but wasn't sure if the blues focused more on color than personality. I'd love to hear yalls opinion on blue australorp behavior.

Hey there! One again back from a break to ask if this silkie rooster looks even a little bit close to Lemon Blue? I'm thinking about crossing Lemon Blue cochins with him to possibly make a Lemon Blue silkie. His mom was a buff, while his father was a black crossed blue(?). He hatched out...

I recently hatched 3 chickens! They are so so cute, but I was surprised by how two of them look! The black silkie, named Susuwatari, was from hatching eggs ordered online. The naked neck, Mr. Crocker, is a very beautiful cross between a large-combed green egg layer and a showgirl silkie roo mix...

I'd love to breed some lavender silver penciled chickens with black heads (which will be barely noticeable with the lavender, but still.) and I want to know if there is a name for that color or is it just called lavender silver penciled (or in my case, lav. silver penciled with charcoal)? Thanks!

Earlier this year I hatched 3 snowflake bobwhites from eggs bought from Ebay. They have all grown well with no issues but when they first hatched, I got this nearly pure white chick while the other two were just normal black and white. The white chick is now matured and she now has these brown...

I found these pictures while scrolling through pinterest. They are not mine. Credit to "Pekin Bantams RSA" I guess. I was looking at some bantam cochin pictures and came across these. Would this be lavender silver penciled?

!SILKIES! I am trying to find out the color of this 5 month old chick. i dont know her dams color either but the chicks sire was chocolate Her Dam ⬇️

I was given 20 free Muscovies a few weeks ago and didn't know that barred and rippled Muscovies existed until this year. I always had the black and white pied color. It turns out that 5 of the new ones are either barred or rippled, but I'm not exactly sure about the difference. I haven't...

My 4 ISA Browns have been laying for about a month now (hatch date March 10 2023) and have been consistently smooth rich brown eggs with strong shells today I get this lighter one with Etch-aSketch pattern Mostly free range in suburb backyard, layer pellets and cracked corn when they’re in...

I want to work towards BBS + paint in my silkies. I don't actually have a desire to breed splash right now, so it would be black, blue and paint. From my understanding if I bred a black rooster with my black, blue, blue cuckoo and paint hens I would get: Black, blue, cuckoo (males only), blue...

Hello! I’ve hatched three lovely Brahmas three weeks ago, can anyone help me figure out their colours? I was thinking maybe a gold partridge and an Isabella? Really not sure about the third one. Thanks!

So this is a bit difficult to word the way I’m trying to ask, so correct me if it makes no sense but I have a bantam Easter egger who has the most beautiful coloring. She’s only about two months old but I’m very curious about her possible genetics. I know Easter Eggers are mixes and hatcheries...

So I have asked a couple of times about colors and don’t think I asked about this one I think it’s a scarlet. correct me if I’m wrong though I’m still new and don’t know all the colors.

I have some 5 week old silkies I hatched from bought eggs. I'm not totally sure the genetics of the parents. Can anyone tell me what color this one is?
