Self Blue (Lavender) Silkie Thread

[GypsyChic]

Would appreciate input from the genetic gurus on these 2 hens color. Supposed to be Porc. Any idea?? Buff body, blue/lavender heads & butts, blue/lavender feathers in wings also. I appreciate all the help, support and PM's. Means a lot to have others guidance when needed. Thank you all. ETA: They are lighter in color than what is showing and have lav/blue mixed in the buff.

my cam has a mind of it's own...

Even considering that they are lighter than the photos show, they look much too dark to be porcelain. My avatar is porcelain (or isabel as she had only a bit of lavender). Yours MIGHT be split to lavender, but even that is a leap of faith. Too many people selling eggs or chicks or birds and calling them porcelain when they haven't a clue about what it takes to make the variety. If you have to ask the question, the chances are pretty high that it is NOT porcelain.

Well to be totally honest, after the egg/chick ordeal, I really was curious and DID want an answer from others as this color is VERY new to me and I'm doing the best I can with what I have to achieve my goals and maintain a small quality program. However, in order to do that, I have to have the right colors to start with, thus the doubt and for questioning. Thank you Sonoran, I appreciate it.

To see what the colours of a porcelain should be, go to feathersite and look at d'uccles.

Here are also some nicely coloured birds: http://www.shagbarkbantams.com/porc.htm

Anyways, that is the colour (and primary patterning) that a porcelain silkie should have. Eventually they'll have mottling (secondary patterning) as well.

Yes, looks like a blue, three partridge, and a white with black chipmunk markings? Not sure what that one might be. They are so cute

I think this one is Porcelain or Isabel, but not 100% sure just yet.
