Does anyone know what color my new silkie chickens are? I was told they are blue, but someone mentioned to me they didn't think they were. Anyway, if anyone knows I'd really appriciate it!

Welcome to BYC!! That pretty girl looks like silver partridge to me but I'd really be guessing if I tried the roo.

You'll get some great help from some very knowledgeable people in short order no doubt!

Thanks for sharing. ALL the Silkie Photos are beautiful. I would never make a good judge...
ALL SILKIES...ALL COLORS are favorites. Never thought a Chicken could be so attractive.
Regards, Aria

Thoughts on this boy??? I had signed up to show him next week, but I'm not so sure if I should bother bringing him. He has an awesome type, gorgeous feet, & fabulous cushion. However, his crest could be larger and he has a little bit of off coloring on his hackle feathers. These pics were taken without giving him a bath and a good "fluffing."

you know my standing. I love him and even without a bath or fluffing he is sooo cute!!! Besides it's okay for boys not to have huge crests

Maybe someone else will pip in but I say bring em

I love him too. He has so many great traits. It is actually the off coloring that is really bugging me. I know he will lose lots of points for that, so I don't know if it is worth it. On the other hand, it would be nice to see him judged in a larger show to get a good idea of his standing.

His comb looks too red, even for a splash, but I know sometimes the red is accentuated in pictures. Does it look like that in real life?
