I am not sure if this is where I should post this?

This chick hatched yesterday, it is a Silkie. I am new to Silkies, so I do not know how to recognize the colors when they are chicks. Anyone know what color this is?

It looks like a White Silkie chick. 

 

It's the shape that makes the breed, and the color that makes the variety.

Well that is what I thought that it looked like, but both of the parents are blues.
