What Color Would You Call These Silkies?

[ColtHandorf]

So my roommate has recently gotten into chickens of her own and this weekend brought home a pair of Silkies. I have never had Silkies and I’m not a huge fan of them, although these are kind of cute. Lol Anyway, I assume the pullet is a Buff. The cockerel appears to be Blue-buff Columbian. But I’m not sure that’s a recognized color. The blue appears where the black would be in a Buff Columbian bird. So what color are these fuzz monsters?

@Fur-N-Fowl, perhaps you might know?

Not sure, they are so cute though.

I’d agree you have a lovely light coloured Buff (Known as Gold over here) pullet and the cockerel appears to be a Porcelain colouration I think (buff and blue feathers). Porcelain isn’t a standard colour and people call it different things and there is different shades of it etc.

The buff is a standard colour though!

Thanks! This is my first experience with them in person. She's enjoying them so far. I walked outside to feed and water all mine yesterday and she was sitting in the floor of the tractor with them in her lap, talking to them.

She also got Seramas and they laid their first egg yesterday. She was most pleased.

I did get a hold of the breeder for my roommate and she said they were from her Blue Cream (Porcelain) breeding pen.

Silkies are great fun! They really are such characters

Woohoo I’m glad I got them correct! Yes some people call porcelain’s blue cream over here!
