? About Silky Coloring

[EliteParamed]

Have been offered a pair of Buff Silkies who are about 1.5 years of age. My question is about their coloring; they are 'light' Buffs opposed to the deep 'reddish' colored Buffs. Is it a DQ for the Buffs to not have the deep rich reddish coloring?

Thank you!

Buff needs to be consistantly buff all the way down to the skin. Too often, you see a nice buff bird, but if you move the feathers, you see that the underfluff is almost white. That is not a good buff color and will be marked as so at a show.

Thank you! Thought it best to post a picture of them so maybe I could get a little more insight.

He doesn't look buff. Can you take some more photos--profile & also looking at the camera?

Is her tail twisted like that or is it the wind?

I agree, definately not buff. Interesting color though. Do you have any better pics?
