Silkie thread!

[CookFarms]

Yes do, because I have had similar issues. Some judges unfortunately don't know silkies well enough to be judging them

I don't think there are lemon blue silkies.

Ok, I will

I'm assuming that isn't Self-Blue Cream then?

That would be the opposite way. Silkie porcelain is self blue head and cream body, lemon blue is cream head and self blue body.

I entered what I thought was a grey silkie in a chicken show, but the judge wrote "Lemon Blue?" on the card, is there such thing as a lemon blue silkie? I will try to post pics of her tomorrow.

A lemon Blue would be entered as a AOV like self blue cream, paint, etc. Is your Grey off colored ?

 

[SilkiesnFrizzle]

I just had a thought as well..Gray is a standard color, correct? Could this also mean that the judge's "standards" of gray could be different?

 

[CookFarms]

She is grey and has a few yellowish feathers, will post pics tomorrow

okay need some help... any opinions? and is the last one an aircell?

It's SO HARD to see the yolk, all I have is a little flashlight and the yolk moves away when I turn it. The egg shell is pretty thick too and it's hard to see... it's been 4 whole days, 4 1/2 now(set them at 6pm on friday)

I have eggs on day 4 now too. I can see veining clearly on even the brown eggs, but I have candled a lot of eggs, so I usually can tell by 4 days where it had to be a week when I first started. I can sometimes even see on day 3.

By the picturesI can't tell. I don't see anything that looks like veining

yeah, I wasn't sure if I did or not either...

but my camera sucks too so unfortunately I couldn't get any good pictures... I guess I will still have to wait... I think her shells are very thick though, because it's hard to see anything clearly.
