Red Silkies

I copied the photos, but the associated article is good reading, too.

In the picture of the three boys, I have the boy in the middle ...the previous owner called them Ginger Reds. They're not as dark as the ones posted by sonoran so what would you call them? Just dark buffs or 'reds'..

I should have one available in Nov if you're interested. I have 5 red boys and only need 3 but I just can't decide on which ones to keep.

Does anyone know of any red silkie breeders? Would like to have some dark reds like in the pic posted by Sonoran Silkies.

I would love to see silkies in the same shade as a true exhibition quality RIR.... Might even make me finally dedicate a whole pen for AOV's finally. Too many of the ones that people are calling reds are nothing more than dark buffs.

This color on a silkie...

Heck even maybe a buckeye....

Can these 2 boys be classed as reds?
( I own both of them )

Those 2 look like a dark orangey buff to me.
