Looks like you have a pair of Buff Showgirls. Pullet in the first few pictures and cockerel in the last picture.

I cant remember but they are buff something....maybe buff columbian they were buff somethin not just buff. And I agree just enates a second opinion on gender

Cuties!!!! I agree with Brahma Chicken5000 - chick 1 is a she, chick 2 is a he.

And buff is just the color (kinda orangey). I have a Buff Orpington and a Buff Brahma. You have two super adorable Buff Showgirls/Naked Neck Silkies.


(Edited to fix what autocorrect did - lol!)

Looks like they are carrying partridge genes in addition to buff.

Yes! I see it now. Slight differences in colors. Bluffs are usually very uniform in color, correct?

Yes, to be a true buff they should have no other color but buff. These show leakage from being crossed with partridge.

Buff Brahmas are "technically" buff columbian patterned.

Yup I do believe partridge buff is ehat they were
