No Doubt! When it comes to the world of genetics...... I'm kinda dumb

The odd thing is that the babies have brown on their backs! They really look just like little chipmunks, LOL! Of course chickie down is always subject to change, so I'm really excited to see what comes of this. I have never seen such adorable babies, they are amazingly fluffy. Their feet are also very nice!
Ill post some pics of their backs tomorrow.

Here is my porcelain pullet from Amy

At only 5 months she is filling in so nicely!

Here's some black pullets just for the fun of it:

Looking awesome Hannah!!! I have the twin to that porcelain pullet. I really need to get the camera out to the barn again.

The other porcelain has no buff on her, just dark lavender splashes. I'm not sure what color to call her. She wouldn't let me take any good pictures of her tonight though. My one black cockerel is starting to mate everything in sight, even my pants or shoes

He is one crazy boy and the boys are still at that gangly awkward stage. I love

my birds from you Amy!

For the show this last weekend, I entered 2 of my pullets as 'blue fawns'. I got the hint beforehand that if I did them under porcelain with this particular judge that he would DQ them instantly. Lots of people that didn't raise silkies that really liked the color. They go to the Hutch show in a week and a half and I left them as porcelains. I already know they can't do better than best AOV anyways. On the 2 younger ones I have left, I'm pretty sure I have a pullet and cockerel too. My Mom claimed them as her own lil breeding pen.

Hi I was wondering if any of these look like they might be lavender? I think the two on the right are a blue and a splash(?) (both from bobbi porto eggs).

It is mainly the two on the left of the photo that have more of a lavender tint with a yellowish tinge to it that I am wondering about. The one on the far left is from bobbi porto and the 2nd one in from the left came from a different breeder from an egg that was marked 'Lavender Splash'.
