pink silkies

Well, this is not a Silkie, but my neighbor has a rooster that is a cross between White Rock and Buff Orp, and he is the most beautiful Lemon Cuckoo you could ever lay eyes on! He is YELLOW, not buff or dun, but YELLOW!

That was certainly my best guess!

Initials CWF??? lol

About 3-4 years ago there was Debbie Greiner in CT that claimed she had white silkies with a pinkish/salmon undercast to them. I never saw pics of them so not sure what to think. I know she had cancer and had to liquidate most/all of her stock when she went through treatment a few years ago.

C'mon Pink, we all know they are like Lays potato chips and Oreo cookies!

Seriously, I can see a salmon coloring coming through, but never pink! What genes could possibly produce pink? If we can't even get chocolate working right in chickens, then where would any shade of true red get worked in? Sounds like someone needs to take off their rose colored glasses to me.

I want actual proof of this so called "Real" pink feathered chicken that hasn't been dyed.

X2 People dye silkies all the time and try to sell them as "pink" silkies that stay that way, but it wears off later.

I'm kinda wondering if they are just a off color from breeding Red Silkies.
