What color would you say these silkie cockerels are?

Hello!

Looking for more help on what color to describe my silkie cockerels as. Does splash fit these 2? Both about a year old. Look basically the same except one has golden feathers in the neck and the other does not. Thanks!

Off topic but those look like some silkies I sold at an auction a couple weeks ago

What color did you describe them as? I got these 2 as chicks last May.

I described them as blue but I don’t know anything of chicken colors lol

That’s what I was wondering! I’m torn between if they fit blue or splash. Especially with the one having the odd gold feathers lol I’ve read so many different things to try and pinpoint where they fit and still can’t

Is the gold feathers what’s considered “leakage”?

Yes, they’re blue with leakage

So totally off topic from the original question now, but when I went out to check on my chickens today, thinking the fighting was over as all seemed calm, I noticed Pete’s eye had a white “spot” in/by/on his eye. He seems blind. Standing in the corner, hitting his head on the doorway going into the coop. Could this be temporary? Or is it likely permanent? I can’t tell if the actual eye is completely gone or if the white showing is some type of inflammation.

Blue-gray (or slate) tawny. Idk. Maybe too fancy, but I like fancy. XD
