Do not get me wrong. If mixing colours is your joy, that is perfectly FINE. Just don't start selling to people who think they are getting a soon to be show winner, and expect to be getting recognised varieties.

I've contacted the breeder (whom I believe is fairly conscientious about her pens) directly to ask for some clarification. I'm not trying to make any waves. Just trying to understand what I have so I can make some educated decisions about how to move forward. Heck, I may not even be describing them properly!!!! (But I DO know what was written on the eggs and what hatched out of which egg. That part I can be sure of.)

Can all you self-blue experts tell me if this info applies to the US silkies? http://www.edelras.nl/belgians/colour.htm#lavblue

I'm very eager to hear the answer to this question as well because the link you posted is what I understand about blue v. lavender (self-blue) in general. So I would LOVE to hear from Silkie breeders as I understand some are combining blue with self-blue. Would love to hear their reasoning.
