Isobel vs Porcelain

[Henk69]

In Holland we call millefleur => Porcelein
and your "porcelain" => Isabel Porcelein

Is porcelain sometimes referred to as "cream" in silkies?? I've read threads in various forums discussing "cream" silkies and wondered if they were only in other countries.

Just my opinion...

i love this post...somebody named something wrong...

silkies(Isabel Porcelain) should be named smutty buff diluted by lavender..which is what they truely look like... lol

...good luck on them breeding true..

However there are some working on millefleur silkies, cant wait till they are matched up to lavender..its tuff to see the millefleur on a silkie because of feather type..I gues we will then have real Porcelain silkies = ps i know 2 of you who you are working on these..

haaahahaha

Real Millie Porcelin Silkies would be so pretty!

Update on my "isabel cuckoo". Two opinions at the show yesterday suggested a partridge pattern. That would explain why there is no pattern on her crest and tail. So it seems I have an isabel partridge! She is laying now, but what do you breed THAT to?

Silky people have a lot of imagination...

I see everyone has the Porcelain Silkies, well what is mine? She looks just like a porcelain silkie. How do you get Porcelains? Her parents are splash roo and hen and two blue hens so idk. Does anyone have some tested porcelain eggs I could hatch?

She looks like a poor splash to me.

Probably from the splash hen, splash roo breeding.

I feel its a splash splash breeding resulting in a diluted splash color not a porcelin.

I really have no clue. I was going from what several people have told me, that she looks like a porcelain.
