Hi all! I am new to the backyard chicken raising family…i have a silkie chicken that when i bought, i originally thought she was going to be an all white silkie, now that her feathers are coming in i think she may be a grey-ish color. does anyone have a silkie similar to mine? trying to get an idea on what she/he will look like when she/he’s all grown up! thanks in advance
—the first 2 pics of her being held is today, the last 2 pics of her in the brooder is from when we first picked her up 11 days ago

I’d say splash, too. I got blue and splash silkies. Here they are when they arrived, at one week old, and 3 weeks old.
