What Color is Sophie, my Silkie Diva Chicken ?

[chickenzoo]

I have people ask all the time. Some have said Splash but she doesn't look anything like my Splash Silkies. I've herd Blue, or Grey.......She looks more like my Self Blue D'uccle color.........

Here she is in natural light............

here in a darker setting...... Her body seems lighter and her neck darker

I am certainly no expert but she looks like my lavender silkies...
totally off topic, but what is that next to her? very unique stripes!

In the natural light she looks to be lavender in the other she looks to be blue. I think she is a lavender.

Must be an Emu next to her, with those stripes and long legs.

I think she looks like my blue Silkies.
It is an Emu.

Well, I say Lavender. But that confuses me when you don't know the color, I think most breeders would tell you if it was Lavender.

 

[chickenzoo]

Well she came from my birds...... and I'm not sure the color

 

[PepsNick]

What do the dam(s) and sire look like?

 

[chickenzoo]

It's been 4 years and I don't remember.....

i believe her daddy was a Splash or a Blue /Black can't remember Momma
