Silkies - They’re simply SPECTACULAR!

What color do you call a black with white underfeathers? Actually, the feathers are more black tipped than black to the skin. BLUE? Don't mind his wetness, he just had an epsom salts bath. That he does love!

My black silkie hen also has ashy brown down feathers. What color does he look dry and in daylight?

The same, his mother has the ashy brown under coat, his dad is a splash.

What color is his mom? Black? If so he’s most likely a really dark blue. I’ve included a BBS color chart to help you out.

Hokay, First item is what color is the little guy? Is it a silver silver partridge? The one behind Sherbert the creamy red girl.

Secondly, I had to move Blue Bonnet from the pen where her hubby is, because all the daughters were sold over the last 3 days, and I won't leave her with TG and 6 sons. (not that I would leave any hen with 7 guys).. I'm trying to choose a new mate for her. She's a blue with a fawn colored undercoat, and I want to breed her for more colorful babies. Pick the Roo you would put her with.

Looks kinda like a red Pyle. I believe silver partridge have no browns at all.

Personally I’d love to see babies from the duck wing looking roo in the first pic, but if your goal is color variety lil man would be my pic! Some stunning boys you have

That makes sense after seeing a red pyle brahma rooster.

It is my understanding that red Pyle is a highly sought after color in some areas! Babies would likely go really well
