Silkie thread!

What color would we call this girl?

If she's a silvery grey color she would be self blue (lavender), I can't get over that adorable poof!

I'm not sure with the lighting and shadows but it could be a white, very light splash or possibly a self-blue?



edit.
The more I look at the picture, probably not splash. lol Cute as a button though, whatever it is. The crest reminds me of Don King.

That would be a great name....could work for a pullet or cockerel. Don King or Donna King! The crest is adorable.

She is so adorable. I have a question. Is it normal if she poops( or squirts) when I hold her?

Don't they usually have a hard crop when it is impacted. All Teriyaki had in hers was liquid and air bubbles. Something down farther was blocking things. She kept throwing up/drooling liquids she was drinking. She was about 10 weeks old, so she was young. Most of the ham pieces were small, but one was bigger. They were dong a good job breaking them up with the "chase me, I got something" game. She must have just gobbled one down. Like I said, sad, but they were young enough we haven't bonded so badly that it is terrible. They are after all, pets with a purpose around here. Still got 4 other great Silkies doing good.

Impacted crop is hard. Sour crop feels like a water balloon.

you may be holding her too tight on the rear end or either she is just really excited or scared

I like hearing the meaning of names...

Your welcome. I found the names on a medieval name web site. Bella means 'beautiful' in Italian.

There it is.. For some reason it posted without the last quote..

is it possible for a 1 wk old chick to get sour crop? My buff silkie was being inspected for pasty butt tonight and i noticed her crop seems rather large and definitely noticeable, and she keeps tilting her head back and looked like she was almost gargling water. They haven't had anything but unmedicated chick crumbles and water. She also went back and ate some more about 15 mins later and is active.
