Silkies Of A Different Color

[Sonoran Silkies]

Quote:
Currently accepted colors are white, black, blue, buff, splash, gray, and partridge. I think gray and partridge are the least common. Hopefully Lavender will be accepted by the end of the year thanks to Bren, Deb, and others.

And each of those varieties are accepted in both bearded and non-bearded, making for 14 recognised varieties. And yes, hopefully soon to be 16 (if they also accept non-bearded lavender).

Thanks! Would love to see the mottled and partridge if anyone has pics!

No photos of mottled (a more difficult project than I thought it would be) I am willing to share. Here is one of a parrtidge; yes, he is in a pear tree

I'll have to upload more photos to show some bettter coloured birds.

Love the partridge in the pear tree.

I got to see your khaki at Shawnee.

Any chance you've got pics of your chocolates? I've been picturing rich deep brown Silkies ever since.

I have yet to take a photo of a chocolate and have it show the colouring even close to accurately. Right now I would say the chocolates are too dark, and need work at lightening the shade a tad.
