What color is this Silkie Pullet??

[Elite Silkies]

Mother is a Buff Showgirl and Father is a Lavender Rooster. I was trying to breed for Isabel's but the first generation is maturing into this color. I think this is a very pretty bird, she is actually prettier than the pics show, but she doesn't like her picture taken, so she would not cooperate with me.

They are adorable creatures- divas, really. I have some, too.

Op, I don't know the answer to your question- I'm just here to admire the silkie.

She is still a pullet and maturing so I am hoping her crest gets a little bigger

I have others with alot larger crest than hers.

I don't know what to call her, but do know what to do --- send her & the lavender rooster to me! hehehehehe

Seriously, though! Since lavender needs two copies to be visual lavender & she carries one copy, I would breed her back to the lavender cockbird (unless you have an unrelated one). Next generation, the buff should be diluted by the lavender to make isabel. This is faster than breeding her to another with her coloring.

My husband might divorce me, she is his, lol. He only has 2 out the ummmm 70 or 80 I have

He saw her and thought she was the prettiest one he had ever seen.

I do plan on breeding her back to the lavender and hoping I get Isabel this time around.

I have hatched 5 this color (the other 4 are showgirls, but not one of them has been a cockerel/rooster so far)
