I love the Red silkies. I used to have a beautiful Red cock but he died on me. I miss Big Red!

Hello, I just joined the forum. Just got into Silkies. Don't know how to post, do not know how to insert photos. MUST Learn. And how do you get to take such pictures. I don't know how to do that either. DON"T KNOW MUCH. Aria​

I love the red color. What do you breed to get the red? Or do you just keep breeding the reddest buffs?

The red looks pretty non-diluted to be porcelain.

What color would you call it or what phenotype do you think is present Sonoran? The color on her wings is a dark red with lavender body

The body must be either a very dilute blue or more likely a splash. Lavender dilutes both red and black pigment, so dark red means that the bird is not pure lav. (It could be Lav+/lav)

sonoran silkies, could you show how the mottled bird looks? i mean silkie version

I have 2 chicks that i guess will be quail - mother is quail half-silkie, and those 2 little roos are showing pattern on their feathers just like her, i will try to make some photos, they are few weeks old now. new colors are so interesting
