I have some goldens so washed out they almost look like mini barred rocks

So do you think they are goldens?

Yea I am pretty sure they are goldens they are just washed out more like whites with black specks barring they are not the platinum / blue shown in the link above

Silver Is A Genetic Recessive Off Of Brown.

LAVENDAR AS A COLOR DOES NOT APPEAR IN QUAIL VOCABULARY..... BUT YEAH BASICALLY THE SAME AS SAY A LAVENDAR OSTRALORP.

ACTUALLY IN BREEDING AND GENETICS REALITY AS THE TERM LAVENDAR IS USED ITS A RECESSIVE BLUE X RECESSIVE BLUE BREEDING SO IF YOU CROSS SILVER TO SILVER IN QUAIL THAT WOULD EFFECTIVELY BE A LAVENDAR AS FAR AS GENETICS GO..... IS MY HEAD THE ONLY 1 THATS GETTING DIZZY HERE?

ANYHOW.... YOU NEED TO BREED ONLY SILVER TO SILVER TO "SET" OR CONFIRM THE COLOR IN THE LINE. SINCE ITS A DILUTE VERSION OF BROWN, LIKE CINNAMON IS, THEY CAN BE FEATHER SEXED LIKE BROWNS--- SPOTTED CHEST= HEN, SOLID DARKER CHEST= ROO

JJ my question is then are the silvers the same as the blues since both are dilutes from the the browns? Or are they considered two separate colors? I always thought that silver/blue were the same thing.

We have english whites, but they are frizzles. We also have the gold, also frizzled.
