    What color is this silkie chick?

    We just picked up 2 silkie chicks, a black 2 wk old and another 3wk old. We have a white hen we rescued at 9 wks that's now 6 months old. This silkie was given to us as "porcelain" but in looking at the pictures of porcelain chicks online, she looks much too dark! Any help would be great...
