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). The orange is a bit darker. I included a photo of the green one next to a black bantam cochin for a color comparison. Last photo with the pink ring is my black pullet. She looks way darker than the 2 boys.
Unfortunately both look like cockerels, so still no blue in my breeding flock
let's hope for some blue pullets next year.
