silkie color

We came across this cute little silkie today and had to bring it home with us since he was the only one and different. Just curious if anyone has one like it and what it might end up looking like when grown. Also enjoy our cute new sebrights 😊 Ps I know they are not the greatest pics, it'd bed...

Hey all! I got some Silkies at an auction this weekend and not much is know about besides I’m pretty sure I have a hen and a roo for the darker colouring I got. I’m just not too sure what that colouring is? :oops: Hoping some others could help me decide if they are Silver Partridge or maybe...

What the heck would you consider his coloring to be? Rescued this pretty boy. He looks like one of my old lemon blue cuckoos. When the person who gave me him got him they said partridge as a chick. His sister is definitely partridge. I have another who I believe would be red pyle? Thoughts? Last...

Just saw this silkie roo for sale. What color is he? I might consider getting him if he would work with my girls. If not I might get a blue one from the same listing. The one in front. Is he a splash?

Okay so once again I'm back with my silkie color generics questions. My rooster is dominant white with lots of red leakage. Hes still pretty young though, so maybe he'll change a little as he grows. I will mainly be breeding him with my black hens and my one cuckoo but I do have one blue hen...

This is my 14 week old silkie pullet Smoky. Normal cuckoos should be darker right? Like with dark black stripes. Some lady once told me she is a chocolate cuckoo, but she doesn't look too brown besides a slight brownish hue on her back. I got a blue cuckoo (I think) from the same breeder. Is...

Hey there! I purchased this little cutie yesterday, and was told it was about 3-4 days old. Very sweet, sizzle silkie that really enjoys attention. It’s definitely the right size, but I’m impressed by its feather growth! Is it pretty common for some chicks to have as much growth as this? As...

Hi everyone, first post here on byc! When we bought this silkie the seller told us she was partridge colored. After looking at other silkies online and studying her coloring she seems to be a non standard color, like a mix between buff and partridge. She looks really light colored to me. I'm...

I just hatched 7 Silkie chicks that were listed as assorted colors. All of them are black or white except two. One is either a splash or a paint (not sure how to tell) and the other I have no idea. Does anyone know what color they'll be I'm? I'm pretty new to silkies so any additional...

So I have some chicks that I do not know what color they would be classified under. My adults are pretty simple (for the most part) I have 1 pure white hen, 1 solid buff, 3 solid jet black, 1 light buff kinda partridge with grey undertones (chewpekka), 1 darker buff partridge again with less...

A couple of my 2 month old silkies are starting to get brown feathers. They were fully grey (to my knowledge) until a couple weeks ago. It seems like every time I look at them more brown is coming through. Any idea on coloring?

Hello. Hoping an experienced silkie breeder can offer help. I purchase 5 silkie chicks from someone who claims to be a show / reputable long time breeder. I asked for 2 blues, 2 buff, 1 white, 1 partridge. The partridge died immediately as the breeder said he was sleeping a lot and didn’t seem...

Hello! I recently hatched a couple baby chicks from my two silkies. My roo is a reddish-buff color with a little black leakage only in the tail. My hen is grey. To my surprise, my baby chicks look to be paints! They are both light yellow with some dark patches. What do you think? What color...

Hello! I am trying to determine what color my Silkies chicks will grow up to be. We have separated our flocks, whites & non-whites. Flock 1: Red partridge rooster, black Silkie hen. A beautiful pullet cross of a Red Partridge Silkie x Golden lace Japanese Batam (we lost her mom last monsoon)...

Hi all :) I’m very curious to hear opinions on this chick’s future color? I was told it should be a splash. Unfortunately I have no idea of parents’ colors. It’s a week old. The wings and feet feathers are white, head is yellow and back and chest are this grey/smokey cream/blue...I’m not sure...

Hello fellow silkie lovers! Just for fun, I wanted to do a vote to find out what everybody's favorite silkie color/variety is. Putting all thoughts of show and non-recognized varieties aside, vote on the poll for your top 1-3 favorite(s). You don't have to own the color to vote for it, and...

I'm guessing this will be a cockerel, but I know Silkies are not an easy breed to sex. It's more a gut feeling. Anyway... here are the photos... what color will this Silkie be? Buff?

I had three “surprise” chicks this fall! Two silkies and one half-silkie (same dad). One of the silkies is a funky color and I was wondering if there’s an official name for it? Here he is, the toasted marshmallow one! Dad is white, mom is buff. His sister is white with just a little gray in...

He is about 4 months old.

I just received an order of chicks, included was one silkie, which was supposed to be grey. I ended up with this little chap, who I think is quite cute, though he doesn’t look like any silkie that I have ever seen. He is mostly white/grey/black, though he has a wee bit of brown as well...
