Ideal Chicks are in! Silkies!

The chicks arrived this morning at a friends house, we ordered together and they were shipped to her.

 

I ordered 10 white Silkies and 10 Buff Silkies. Was disappointed that 2 are obviously NOT Buff..what do you think? They actually sent 3 that look like reds to me, but my friend traded one for one of her buff chicks. I just don't see how these could be considered "Buffs" lol.

 

Glad they made it ok though.550187_3729951176728_1514439143_3192988_1280356367_n.jpg

thumbsup.gif congrats on their safe arrival.  I don't have any silkie experience so I can't help you on the Buff issue.  I'm hoping my ideal chicks arrive tomorrow morning.  I got several different varieties including 4 blue silkies.
