Do Silkies come in Silver? (PIC)

[Mom 2em All]

I had a chick hatch out silver- not a silkie but still silver:

here is her picture:

and she grew up to look like this:

She is very sweet, but also a loud-mouth.

Very pretty bird! I wish this one would stay this color, but I doubt it since I've never seen an adult look like that. I guess time will tell!

That color is self blue and it has been bred into silkies, but they're still rare.

Wow, i've never seen a silkie chick that color. Very much looking forward to seeing her all dried out, and then when she is older.

Could it be a gray silkie? Either way I bet it will still look great once it feathers out.

 

[KellyHM]

Ok, here she is a little fluffier.

Wow!

I forgot one of my whites was silver colored- but not as much as yours- and then the feathers grew in white. This post reminded me of him.

You can just see the white feathers coming in.

A little bit older. You can still see the silver in the down.

Here he is at 3 months checking out the babies.

Whatever color yours turns out to be, it is beautiful.

I'd say probably a blue; it may also be lavender (it is not an either or thing--they are separate genes). Looks too dark to me, at least at this point, to be lavender alone.

Greys are essentially partridge, with the silver gene replacing the gold gene; babies have chipmunk stripes down their backs.

Now that its fluffed up, it looks too dark to be a silver gened white.
