What color are my silkies?????

[TommyGirl]

This is Lola and Niles, two of my Silkies. What color are they? I thought partridge, but I have a partridge silkie hen and she is much darker than these two. Any ideas?

Really? Because I've got a Silkie hen that I was told was buff, and she's a light yellow color. Thanks for the input! I appreciate it!

They very definitely are not buff. The boy looks to have some columbian patterning with blue and some buff/gold showing. The girl is much more a mix of colours. A better body shot might help me elaborate. Neither is a recognized variety.

Thanks Nicalandia and Sonoran Silkies! I doubted they were a recognized variety, but wasn't sure. I keep them as pets, instead of for show or breeding, so it really doesn't matter what color they are. I was just curious. I love your avatar, Sonoran Silkies!!
