I found these photos, are these correct?

The last bird, which used to belong to me, is porcelain (or self blue cream). Which is buff diluted by lavender. At least, thats what it is in Silkies. Silkie breeders started calling them self blue (lavender) cream because they don't fit the typical criteria for that color, which I believe needs to include some mottling. She didn't have the best color, a little darker buff than prefered, but she made some lovely little porcelain babies after she went to her new home with a lavender rooster. I sure do miss that girl

Yeah. They probably didn't know what they were talking about, and didn't want to be wrong.

Gender help please? I think this is probably a girl but still not sure. Almost 4 months old. She's a little bigger than the other Silkie girls her age but a little smaller than the boys. I also don't see much of a comb under her crest but one of the boys doesn't have much of one either.

Thank you for that info! And she was/is my fab of the three. I don't care if she wasn't "perfect" I love her look!!!

I think she is so small because she looks very young but a pretty color! You will have to post more pics down the road as she grows a bit!

Good for you and congratulations! Do you have a pic of him? I just realized, I always ask others if they have pics of theirs but haven't got one picture of mine yet. I need to do that this weekend...
