Soooo there's no such thing as a Red Silkie?

I'm seeing a bunch of black tailed buff in color. My opinion.

Illia, I agree, but are we looking at Silkies through Marans eyes??

Red being the name because of it's deeper coloration than Buff, and for lack of a better name? I think if they are the solid red color, than they should be called Reds, but the last pic above looks like a BTB to me too.

I'm looking at them through Rhode Island Red eyes

A red bird has mahogany genes in it. Making the orange go a dark, bloody nearly blackened red. Not orange, not buff, not yellow. Doesn't matter to me if the tail is black or not, or if the neck is black, just as long as the bird is actually a carrier of Mahogany. Sounds fair right?
