Is this Silkie Red Or Buff

[Doug the Chicken Man]

I was wondering if you can see the difference between the red and buff slikies.

Here is a picture of what we were told were red Silkie's but now I am unsure.

They look Buff to me and I raise Ginger Reds. Generally they should be fiery red throughout with black threaded throughout the tail.

Here is a pic of my Buff Roo next to one of my Ginger Red Boys (my Buff is actually quite a bit darker than that IRL) and you can see my Buff does have a nice red hue but is clearly different than the Ginger boy. I hope that helps!

Here is one of my hens which is light for Ginger Reds but is a nice solid red throughout. I'm working on getting them much more maroon but only have 3 hens like that so far.

Looks red to me. I used to raise show cockers -especially red ones. None of them were solid red like an Irish setter but, were considered RED in our breed. I wouldn't expect a solid red chicken either.

The lighter one would be called red-buff.

Any other opinions.
We are working with them to increase the crest size.
