What Color is Toadstool? (Silkie-Sizzle)

[Bleenie]

All of her siblings are Blue, Black & Splash... with a White here & there

She is Mainly Blue but has some Gold coloring around her neck, almost Partridge-like?

So What Color is She?

Far Right

Looks to me like you've got some gold leakage in your BBS parents. . .

That, or white Silkies are a recessive white, and so that makes the white parents having something else leaking in, too.

 

[Bleenie]

The whites are Recessive. It doesn't suprise me there's probably something else sneaking around in there too.

So there's no real name for her color then? Just a very, super cute PQ girl?

 

[Illia]

No. To me it just looks like "rusted blue" or "gold leaked blue" - A term used for blues who have another gene, often birchen or duckwing, leaking through. To breeders and showers it something that must be culled out. As a pet though, it is fine.

 

[Bleenie]

Well thankfully she is just a pet here

Out of the 100+ babies this year she was the only pullet to color in with the gold...and shes the fluffiest, lol.
