    Silkie color help- grey with black and white striped wings & white with black splotches on wings? (not partridge!)

    Hi everyone, I have 4 sweet silkie babies hatched 1 month ago to the day. I purchased these eggs online from a breeder who claims they are 100% purebred silkies and that any color is possible. This is my first time hatching silkies and 3 of their colorings have confused me since they came out...

    Are these silkies silver and gold based or something else?

    I have two silkie chicks that just hatched that are an unusual color. Kind of yellow on the head but the body looks kind of dirty gray. I have tried to figure out if they could be silver and gold based (meaning they would be boys since girls can only have one base color.) But I can’t find any...

    What color Silkie ?

    What the heck would you consider his coloring to be? Rescued this pretty boy. He looks like one of my old lemon blue cuckoos. When the person who gave me him got him they said partridge as a chick. His sister is definitely partridge. I have another who I believe would be red pyle? Thoughts? Last...

    What color is this silkie?

    Just saw this silkie roo for sale. What color is he? I might consider getting him if he would work with my girls. If not I might get a blue one from the same listing. The one in front. Is he a splash?

    Blue hen + dom white roo with red leakage

    Okay so once again I'm back with my silkie color generics questions. My rooster is dominant white with lots of red leakage. Hes still pretty young though, so maybe he'll change a little as he grows. I will mainly be breeding him with my black hens and my one cuckoo but I do have one blue hen...

    Is she a normal cuckoo or some variation of cuckoo?

    This is my 14 week old silkie pullet Smoky. Normal cuckoos should be darker right? Like with dark black stripes. Some lady once told me she is a chocolate cuckoo, but she doesn't look too brown besides a slight brownish hue on her back. I got a blue cuckoo (I think) from the same breeder. Is...

    Sizzle Silkie Color and Gender!

    Hey there! I purchased this little cutie yesterday, and was told it was about 3-4 days old. Very sweet, sizzle silkie that really enjoys attention. It’s definitely the right size, but I’m impressed by its feather growth! Is it pretty common for some chicks to have as much growth as this? As...

    Is this a partridge silkie ?

    Hi everyone, first post here on byc! When we bought this silkie the seller told us she was partridge colored. After looking at other silkies online and studying her coloring she seems to be a non standard color, like a mix between buff and partridge. She looks really light colored to me. I'm...

    Silkie Changing Color

    A couple of my 2 month old silkies are starting to get brown feathers. They were fully grey (to my knowledge) until a couple weeks ago. It seems like every time I look at them more brown is coming through. Any idea on coloring?
