Thanks!  That Buff is "Gracie."  She is my daughter's favorite.  She gets to compete in all the shows.  wink.png  Paired up with this boy, I've been getting some amazing buff babies:

Anyways, I have a question about one of my 3.5 week olds. This is the one that hatched yellow with the purple smutty area on its back. It seems to be getting that color overall with some buff mixed in. 

I hope these pictures are ok--they are pretty true to color. Anyone know what color it may be?

At what point should I be worried about my Silkie eggs? Everyone looked good on day 14 but I haven't candled since then.
I also find that my silkies are not as fast as people have said to hatch. Never EVER had an egg hatch before day 21. If I set them on a Friday at 8pm, the earliest hatch hasn't been more then 3 hours before 8pm (ie 5 pm - 3 weeks after).

I've only had a silkie hatch first once so far. Normally it's my barred rocks, or my barred rock crosses that hatch first. I don't know why. idunno.gif

I think it is a buff.  Maybe has some smut (the dark coloring), but that may go away as it feathers.
