what color are these three chicks? This is my first silkie hatch. Mom was partridge and dad splash


this one is a little lighter colored



you can see the darker one pretty good there...


the colors on the 3rd pic are more correct. I have a few more. It's also the 3 silkies, I have 3 EE in there too


ok, so one is yellowish, one lighter and one darker. What do you think?

My Paint Cock by Catdance. His name is Daper Dan. I hatched him out of a mixed batch of eggs. The black spots are black feathers down the shaft to the skin. His bum feathers have been trimmed for breeding.

LOVE HIM

Can anyone tell me what color you think my almost 6 week old silkies are?

The first one, with the ADORABLE little mohawk, looks black or very dark blue. They can be difficult to tell apart, but if you have a splash or blue to breed it to, you'll eventually be able to figure out what color it is depending on its offsprings colors. If its black and you breed it to splash, all chicks will be blue. Black bred to blue will give you only blue and black. Blue bred to splash will give blue, black and splash. Blue to blue gives blue and splash. Black to black gives all black. The other looks like a very light buff, to me at least.

Here is a little three month old roo I have coming up. I am keeping my fingers crossed that he is a porcelain, but he is a silkie of a different color right now. Great lavender crest, beard, and undercoat - but a darker orangish frosting on the back and wings and chest.
