What color is this silkie? 13 weeks

[KailuaSilkies]

The darker one is 13 weeks and seems to be a pullet. But her color is unlike what I’ve seen before. I say she’s dark chocolate with ashiness but my husband says more black/salt n pepper coloring. She is beautiful and tiny and a little skittish. Always has been. Fairly certain she is a girl. But what would you call her coloring?

Thank you! I have never seen it and she looks so different from my other silkies…. Any idea if she has a mix of something else or is a different type of silkie?

I don't know know, pure silliest are supposed to have very feathered legs, she doesn't.

She looks silver partridge. You can see penciling on her wings, which is common in partridges. I'd guess she's probably a pure non-bearded silkie, just not the best quality.
