How many different kinds of Silkie are there?

[Tanichca]

So I have seen or heard of cuckoo, porcelain, lavender, and all sorts of different kinds.
My questions are:
1) can anyone post pics of their odd (non-recognized colored) silkies?
2) how did you get this color?
3) Just how many varieties are there?
I am just curious, as silkies are my favorite breed!

Thanks!

There are many different colors of Silkies, I'm not even sure of all of them. I know there is a Lavender Silkie though.

I will be watching this thread. I have a Splash, Patridge and Lav split.

White, Buff, Black, Partridge, Silver Partridge, Blue, Splash, Lavender, Cuckoo, Red, . . . And then there's of course a lot of weird colors out there that have nicknames, but to me are just crossing one random color and another.

There are 2 varieties of silkies...bearded and non-bearded. In both varieties there are 7 accepted colors (so far).... black, white, blue, splash, grey, partridge, and buff. These colors can go on to win best of breed, champion featherleg, champion landfowl, best in show. AOV's can only advance to best of variety. Any other color is still considered All Other Variety (AOV)...lavender, cuckoo, porcelain, chocolate, calico, tortoise, silver partridge, blue partridge, etc. Lavendar is under way to getting accepted this fall.

Wow I LOVE the lavender cuckoo! The paint is really pretty as well. Anyone have any idea how to get the colors?

You would have to import. Plus someone paid over 1,000 for a paint trio, so they would make you live on the streets
