My white silkie chicks look exactly like your chick that is front and forward, if that helps.
 
awww i wanted different colors, that makes me mad because the people at TSC said if they are dark they are males, because i asked them about the color. Well they will be cute anyways, three white silkies!
 
I had 3 that were very white....at 2 weeks, one is obviously white and the other two are starting to get "splash"es of dark feathers. I say too soon to tell.
 
Yeah, silies aren't "six linked" - meaning that males are one color and females another when hatched like commets. And, if he was referencing commets - that is the opposite. The pullets are the dark orangie color and the males are yellow.

I'm sure they'll be just fine even if white -
