What color are these silkie hens

[ramirezframing]

What color would these be called, they are purebred silkie hens just under a year old.

She started out black, than got white little spots on her chest and little light brown spots on her wings. Her body has now truned a dark brown but her back and neck is still black.

She looks like a splash with gray but she has this odd light tannish/ oragneish top tone all over

Thanks for the help.

Mixed colors most likely or that are hatchery birds?

I hatched them off my birds for my dad, so I know they are pure. I just haven't ever had any that came out these odd colors. I did have splash when I first got silkies, and I have black, partrigde, red, white, and gray.
These are nonbeared hens that have been laying eggs and the second hen is on a nest of eggs right now.

They look like a mix color.

The photos are too close, and somewhat out of focus, so very difficult to tell. What colour were the parents?

All my silkies are in one pen since I have them for my eye candies and to hatch out eggs. I have black, gray, white, partridge, red, and had a splash but she died 2 years ago of old age but had babies off of her.

Yeah they are pretty little mixed colored hens. I have some too they are very interesting colors and even some people love the ODD BALLS. I'v sold eggs to people from my mixed color pens and people just die over the colors they get and keep coming back for more.
