    What color silkie chick is this?

    I know this an old thread but i had 1 chick hatch like this recently. Hatched with a light silvery sheen but now at a month is feathering in pure white. Roo and hen were both light silver partridge (gray) color. Would this mean it is double silver gene white?

    Here are my polish silkie cross chickens. They are about 3 months old. Any guesses as to sex. I'd guess hen if they were pure polish but the top hat is extra big because of silkie cross.
