What colour will they be?

[Crazy for Chickens!]

Gold meaning buff coloured was what I assumed, but maybe I was thinking buff and the breeder was thinking partridge!

Well, they probably meant buff, although I don't know why a breeder would not call their chickens what they are!

In that case, they aren't pure at all. Their crosses. Because they don't look like Buffs or Partridges should.....

I had someone ask if I had gold silkie chicks. I didn’t know what they were talking about.

Well you know there are some colors that people have been breeding. Like Porcelain, and a few others. Maybe it's something like that.....

I'm in the UK. Gold is a pretty common term here as far as I know. I've certainly heard it used, and I never bothered to query it as I thought I knew what it meant. A goldy/buff sort of colour. But like I said I just assumed that.

Doesnt matter to me, they are the sweetest little things, and now I am even more interested in seeing how they turn out!

Whatever, must just be a term people use.

That first result has gold, red and partridge. Maybe gold is a term for a variety of buff colors?



Ok the sale page has buffs listed as gold.


I live in the USA. I had a lady last week claim my buffs were not the gold birds she wanted. I was wondering if maybe there was a actual gold silkie. There’s so many colors so you just never know.

That buff sort of colour is what I thought of as being gold. Wonder what your lady was after? Maybe just a very yellowy buff!
