Not sure what color it is or how it came to be, but your birds are not show quality hence there unknown/mutt color. Maybe you can show in AOV and name your color columbian on the entry form, but it probably is not columbian. They look like nice backyard pet silkies to me!

You gotta go through a few pages to get to them though. Your ones have a little bit darker necks though....

I don't think there Coronation Silkies.

First the "Coronation" color would be only on a Sussex. Other breeds with that color pattern would just be a Self Blue Columbian or even a Blue Columbian.

Unless there Split for Lavender

Blue Columbian Brahma -

Second the "Coronation" color would be a Blue/Steel color not Black..
