I will have to go look up Birchen, not familiar with that color. Gives me somewhere to start, thank you so much

Birchen would also have the saddle feathers the same color as the hackles. He looks more like a Salmon Favorolle color to me?

Check this guy out, he looks more like a Birchen pattern. Scroll down to near bottom.

Is there a poultry show in Frederick, MD? I think my silkies will be ready for showing then.

Sorry, realized it was an older post.

It's okay, they usually have the Frederick show every year, I think the first week in November

I finally found a Salmon Faverolle rooster, but he also had the same color saddle and hackle feathers, but the wings look closer to my guy than a Birchen.

I'm thinking he is closer to the Salmon too

Looks more like grey plus autosomal red than like salmon. Does not look to have a lot of red; definitely has the duckwing pattern, not crowwing (birchen and related varieties). Do you have any full siblings? What colour are hens? What colour was each parent?

These are his full siblings, his father looks almost just like him. The mother we are unsure of, it's either a black hen or a lavender hen. The father's parents were my Lavender Rooster and a Black Showgirl.

This is a cockerel
