Columbian silkies?

Sort of funny Avonshire. I didn't order them because I wanted the Showgirls and figured the odds were against me. Too bad we don't llive closer.

Quote: Unless you are deliberately breeding for a lavender diluted columbian (variety name is coronation), you should avoid having any lav in the columbians. Josh, one copy of lav does nothing as far as diluting either pigment colour.

silkies should come on Solid colors only, it pains me to see how difficult is to breed for any pattern on the silkie feathers, I just cant get used to see them

Check out Silver Silkie's birds; he has some with stunning patterns. I'll post some of mine if I can get my phone camera to work.

BTW, all the columbian patterned birds are different birds with slightly different hues and depth of colouring. The cleanest "white" columbian doesn't have silkie feathering yet, so I didn't include him.

Hello!

I have a columbian rooster and i would like to know does he produce his color with white or partridge hens? What is the best color to breed to so i will get more columbians?

If I remember right, breeding a columbian to a smutty buff would produce more columbian. A smutty buff is a buff bird with black on the wings and cushion. I'm not a 100% sure on this, but that's the kind of image I have in my head for some reason. lol
