Silkies!?? Don't recognize the colors *NEW PICS ADDED Pg.3*

Now THAT would be fantastic!!!

I am not at all familiar with silkie colors, but when I saw that they were all different shades, I picked what I thought were the unique looking ones. Karen71 also got some, she got 2 that we were pretty sure are buff and white. Maybe she should post pics

I am going with partridge on the chipmunk, and I agree with the buff and possibly red. I don't know anything about the blue and splash, as I haven't had any of the blue/black colors, so I will be excited to see how they turn out for you. Keep us updated! Pretty babies.

I will! I am excited now just to see how they turn out!! I am like the paparazzi when it comes to my babies!!

Well I have 2 self blue chicks and a splash, and they looked very similar until the feathers started growing...
Nice assortment!

Here they are -
hopefully all pictures come out I seem to mess up the pixs

Self blue silkies are not that common. I would say the light grey ones are probably splash.
A blue would most likely be dark grey with a lot of white on it.
I don't know what a baby gray silkie looks like, but as adults they look like a black with birchen coloring on the neck.

I would say you have 1 white, 1 partridge, 1 splash, and 2 buffs.

Yay! There they are!!!



Is there a difference between gray and blue?

In adults yes, but I don't know what a baby gray looks like. Blue adults are very dark, almost black, and gray's are black with silver feathers on their necks.

the babies are the cutest- I could not resist- what's 2 more?

I bet DH would not have even know if I didn't tell him lol

I wish I had gotten some of these self blues- but I think all SIlkies are cute
