Silkie color question

[Cierrascoop]

What would the technical color be of this girl? Is it chocolate, red, brown...she doesn't look buff or red really. But I'm not great at colors. I was thinking chocolate. Butbi dont even know if thats a technical color for silkies lol?

Thinking chocolate, maybe Dun is a possibility.
Only way to know is to test breed her.

Ive never heard of Dun. What would the outcome be if she was dun vs chocolate? I have a Silver partridge rooster and a Satin silkie roo that is black and gold. I was going to let her and my silver partridge hen hatch out this spring/summer.

Chocolate is a Separate gene that's also Sex linked.

Dun is made from Khaki X Black. It's also called Chocolate, or fake chocolate.

Dun X the silver partridge would result in 25% Dun/Fawn Males, & Females, & 25% Black, Males, & Females.
