The "What Color Is My Chicken?" thread! Calling all color experts!

I have a silkie that is just over a year old, and I don't know what color to call him. Sorry about him molting in these pics.





I also have this silkie who was sold to me as a splash rooster, but he has a ton of red on him. Is he just a bad quality splash or is he another color. The hen in the pics with him is truly a splash and has no red on her. If it looks like she does it is only dirt from the wet rainy days we've had.

Hen looks to be Splash, rooster looks like a blue with red leakage. Most likely comes from mixed colors bred together. He still looks pretty good tough for a Silkie. (Not a Silkie fan).

How about this Araucana boy?




This is what his sister looks like...

Two hens. I can provide more pictures from the front if needed too. Sorry the 2nd pic is a bit blurry!

Sorry, I don't know the color of this one, although he is very pretty. Guess: Too much gold but maybe a offcolored Wheaten.

The bottom picture, one on the left is a non-bearded Silver, and I think the one on the right could be considered a silver also, but too many colors mixed together.

How about this pair? Small Bantam size. Dunno the breed.

Hi I have been hatching out chicks that look like this from my Turken Breeding stock, I don't know what color it will be, any one know?

Does any one know what color or color pattern this would be? The one on the right in front of my EE rooster.

The pattern reminds me a lot of what you see on Dark Brahma hens. Maybe the Brahma folks would know what that's based on? Probably same things as Silver Penciled Plymouth Rocks, I imagine.
