Hi all,

I just picked up some new Silkies and was wondering what color you all thought this one is. The lady I got her/him from has all her silkie colors running together right now so not sure what color the parents are. Also, do you think it's looking roosterish or henish? 😆 It's early I know. The ultimate Silkie question.

Can you get pictures in better lighting? Can't tell if, it's lavender, or white.
 
Took these outside.

Really!?!? I had thought maybe Porcelain. Hadn't even considered partridge for this one. Yay! Thank you!

Would you think this one will be lavender partridge too perhaps?
Looks like it.

Porcelain would be Lavender + Columbian + Partridge + Mottling.


You're welcome.

Looks like a porcelain to me as well, possibly partridge.

Not a silkie expert, but she looks very similar to porcelains (pictured above). It's also possible her feathers will change color a little bit as time goes on. So it's possible she's a partridge. She could also be a lavender porcelain...
I had a white silkie chick that turned into a splash silkie.

Also, might be a rooster!
