Silkies Of A Different Color

[peepblessed]

I was counting heads this morning and noticed one more than usual, piled up with a couple of black Silkie girls. Looked again, and it was a kitten! Chickens with hair like cats, evidently seems the consensus with the cats too! Kittens that think they are chickens...

I hope I can get a pic of that some morning, it was too cute!

Hope you get that picture!!

Hi everyone! I have been trying to find out what color this guy is! I think it looks like red pyle, but the people selling him and two hens that look just like him said they thought they were red paint silkies. When I look those up there seems to be a question of this color being a paint or that it is just a bad buff.
I am hoping someone here can straighten me out! I love genetics, and am all ears! Oh, and you cant really see it in the pics, but he has random black feathers all over, not many, like a black and white paint silkie. I thought, and correct me if I am wrong, that the black flecking went along with red pyle? I have an EE hen who is all white with the black flecks, she was spotted as a chick like the paint silkie chicks. Her brothers all were like her, but with red on their wings and necks too. Their mom was a white leghorn, dad a brown red colored EE. I have been wondering and reading about this for awhile now, but it seems to change according to breed, and who your talking to I would like to get to the bottom of this! Thanks in advance for any info!


He is wearing a diaper, he has had the sniffles so we brought him in for little TLC, essential oil massage and antibiotic injections.

I have no idea really about the color, but it does look like red pyle to me when I googled it. Cute silkie! I hope he feel better soon
