The breeder is called Ringnalda the Dutch Silkie breeder and she calles this color Beige

this breeder experimented on creating the color first and then and now is introducing it to the Silkie breed

this is how the color was born

I think its a showgirl, it was a surprise! It has feathers on the inside of its neck, but not on the back of the neck.

I'm new to Silkies, but I think there are a couple of porcelains, bbs, a buff, a calico, and a silver partridge? Dunno, it is blue, with chipmunk markings on its back. Supposed to be white, but I don't think there are any. No real yellow chicks.

it looks like it nice showgirl it might be white some time white silkies arent quite white when there born

On the subject of white chicks, i might have somee in 12-20 weeks

are you talking about the salmon or lavender buff columbian or the pyle...?

the end result should be similar a Pinkish color...

I meant the red Pyle and the salmon but you said the end results would be similar.

Here are some pics of my chicks. The first pic they are a few hours old. The buff is not vaulted and the blue is.

The next two pics are the same chicks (7 wks today). The buff's crest is starting to catch up. You can also see how much they change in color. Hope this helps!
