Porcelain Silkie Thread

Ummm, one essential gene: mottled. They have columbian, or at least many/most of them do.

None of hers do.

Thanks for the input OSUman. We all understand my birds and ALL OTHER "POrcelain" Silkies do not have mottling. As I have explained a few times now we are working on renaming the color PROJECT we are trying to develop. Since no one has yet agreed and the general public is all calling them porcelains FOR NOW, can we focus on moving forward, not on the fact that they do not have mottling, which we all have agreed on. Thanks.

For everyone else working on "Porcelain Silkies" Please feel free to post pictures of your birds, and let us know how you project started/where it is going. If this forum is not attractive for you to discuss it we also have a group and thread on the ASBC which has great info and lots of constructive input. If this does not end up being a helpful thread, I will have it closed. Thanks everyone!

I am honestly not sure how these guys got started as I bought them from someone else just a week ago.
Hen
She looks a little rough from breeding of course

Have to get a picture of my cockerel later, my camera died.

Neat color! Do you know if she is split to lav? I would put her with a lav roo if you have one.

I can't wait to see the cockeral!

She is gorgeous and I love her color!!! I am not the color expert but she really reminded me of my salmon favorelle girls color.

From what I know she is split to lavender and I do have my lav roo, here he is. He looks a little rough, most of his beard and crest has been plucked. He has a good stance, he was just pecking around when I snapped this photo

I will try to get a pic tomorrow afternoon of my cockerel, I have to work late tonight and my battery was charging all afternoon for my camera.

I picked up these 2 silkies from a guy at a flea market...they were in bad shape and after seeing this thread I am curious if yall think I have a lavender or blue or just a mutt?

your picture is not showing.

TRYING AGAIN! USER ERROR! LOL...any info will be nice...a friend has a white silkie roo and a red hen...i got these because I love hers and they were in a bad situation and I just had to save them.I am pretty sure my black is a roo because he fluffs his neck out and does a show at my BLRW roo if he gets near their yard when I let my bigs out in eves! So funny to watch him and my Bantam roo act all big and bad!

 

[minihorse927]

Blue is what I would call it and your black looks like a roo. The blue I am not real sure on.

They guy I got them from said.."oh its just a grey...." then proceeded to hold them by the head to tell me the sex! I paid $3 each for them and they were supposedly 2 weeks ...that was about 5 weeks ago and they look sooo much healthier...if they will stay out of the mud(i am wetting ground for some cooling in my runs).Thanks for the input...I really dont care what they are...they are cute enough for me!My husband and mom were both sure they would die the first day they looked so bad!
