Have you ever heard of a blue chicken? What about a cuckoo-colored one? A chocolate chicken? Well, these are all colors of silkie chickens. There are white, red, lavender, black, gray, splash, buff and partridge silkies, too (and probably more colors in the works).

Let’s take a look at some of these awesome birds.

1. White Silkies

2. Cuckoo Silkies

These are cuckoo silkies, with barred feathers.

3. Buff Silkies

Buff silkies have a pretty golden color.

4. Black Silkies

I love the gorgeous plumage of the black silkies.

5. Splash Silkies

6. Partridge Silkie

7. Lavender Silkies/Self Blue

8. Red Silkies

9. Gray Silkies

10. Blue Silkies

11. Paint Silkies

Paint silkies have a dominant white gene that overrides their black coloring, according to Silkie.org.

12. Chocolate Silkies

I’m also looking to get a few more silkies to add to my flock, and I can’t decide on the color! What’s your favorite? Let me know in the comments!
