Gray Silkies from Ideal Hatchery? Real Color? Quality?

[Shellyb]

I'm looking for Splash silkies but saw these "grey" silkies...I know nothing about this color. Any help would be appreciated. I ordered 7 silkies from them this past Oct and ended up with at least 5 roosters so needless to say..not happy about that. One Hen or sure. Thanks

My first batch of chicks were from Ideal and out of 10 I ended up with 8 cockerels. I'm posting a pic of one of my blue silkies from Ideal. She is 7 mo. old now & a real sweetie! However, please visit my website (www.sillyovrsilkies.com) and you will see breeder quality blue silkies that I'm currently raising as well as splash!

I believe you'll see a definite difference in appearance between the hatchery and breeder stock. If you're wanting splash, you cross blue & black silkies to = splash. I've got 6 splash in the brooder now and will have a few to sell in a few months, so if you're interested, check back with me (I should be able to ship after May b/c I'm seeking NPIP certification).

This is Willow (7 mo. old pullet from Ideal)
