[kathyinmo]

Here is a not so good picture of my buff roo. See the dark tail feathers..

Here is one of the females. Not much, but does have a bit of dark on the end.

hey mine came from the same breeder as silkieluver_07 so I'm guessing we have a good chance of growing out of it!

Well HECK I almost bought a Buff Roo for my girls but thought the dark regulare feathers like that were a DQ

Nope, not a DQ. A defect, though.

Oh OK so I am happy I didnt get him.. Instead I was way smarter (that was with an eye roll lol) and I bought the girls (and me but shhh dont tell them its easier to blame them) a Silkie bitty along with a showgirl bitty.... I really really really must be crazy!! So now who knows how its going to turn out of course no chances of defects cause I bought a bitty LOL!!!

It's a defent, but the vast majority of buff silkies roos carry some amount of black. Finding a clear one is pretty hard, and pretty pricey.

I had mine out yesterday and the offf color feathers are definately going away.
