splash silkie chick color question?

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 

I have my first silkie chicks hatched from my broody silkie mama. jumpy Both parents are splash but my 2 week old chicks look they are white maybe even a light grey.  Will the splash coloring come later or is there a chance they won't be splash colored at all???

They will for certain be splash.

It will most likely be more washed out than the parents.

Try to get some black or blue involved in the matings to maintain better coloration.

I am currently planning to prepare to get ready to focus.

Good! I'm glad they will be splash as they favorite color. So, if they may be lighter would that make paint splash? Anyone know when the splash coloring will appear?

Hi!  So did your Splash develop color later?  I have my first Splash- she/he is solid white at 8 wks old.  Thanks!   -Pam
