I've got a light one. She really is as light as the pictures. I she too light to be considered gray, and if so what color would she be?

I have some birds that may be a little similar to yours, i just posted on the silkies of different color just a bit ago, they're out of my columbian project. and i know you have some columbians showing up in your flock I'm wondering if the columbian gene is working to restrict the color in the gray making them nice pale silver. i think they're lovely!!

pictures is to show my light gray/gray/penciled/silver what ever hen (not sure what to call her) she's broody and sitting on a clutch of her own eggs now. and a bit shabby and dirty now but wanted to get peoples thoughts.
she hatched last year but looked just like the two of her chicks that just hatched a few days ago, and one that hatched early spring. so i can show a progression of how they will mature.


3 days old






hatched out earlier this spring still maturing .......






fully mature and very broody hen. happily resting in her brooding pen, waiting on some chicks to be ready. they're all from my columbian silkie project pen.

I would love to know the answer to this. I have just hatched one just like her.
