What kind of Silkie am I?

We picked up this little guy/girl at the farm supply store this past weekend. They were just advertised as Silkies. Any ideas on the specific breed? Thanks!

Silkie is the breed. It looks like it might be a white but it's really hard to tell the coloring in the picture. It's best to take a side on picture with a background that will contrast with the color of the bird, if you want opinions on the variety. The bird in the picture really blends with the background and makes it really hard to determine the color or if it even has the right feather type for a purebred Silkie. The photo is great for its artistic impact though.

Apologies. I hope this one is better.

I think it is buff.

Enjoy your Silkie!

Buff and I would bet boy judging by the size of those feet and legs!

Thanks, guys! Are Silkie roosters generally pretty good-natured?
