she looks like a blue to me

I kept going back and forth with her. At first I thought a darker splash, then I am thinking maybe a blue....then gray. I just wasn't sure what to call this little one!

she is splash there is a lot of variance in splash. they can be dark or light. If you breed splash to splash it washes out the color.
this bird is blue

the head and neck are darker than the rest of the bird however the color is even throughout the plumage.

this bird is gray gray birds have patterned feathers

PLEASE, OH PLEASE... don't let my daughter see these

The funny thing is that I'm seriously considering getting them!

why not, seems like an easy solution if you want to keep them clean.

Hey all you silkie peeps. Pam B. has really nice birds and I actually had her daughter show two of my babies this weekend. Her daughter won First Place with them!!! Definitely check out her website and take a peek at all the gorgeous Silkies she has. They look even more amazing in person!! I also just purchased three babies from her and I can't say enough about how loving and wonderful these babies are!!
