Any idea what colour this unusual coloured silkie chick will be?

Trying to find some info online about what colour my little silkie baby might be… she’s very confusingly coloured (to me lol)

She had a white bum and chest, as well as a couple of white toes, which she’s had from hatch, but now she’s getting what looks like white spotty feathers coming in.

It’s my first time with silkies so I have no idea, but online it seems to point to blue or cuckoo.

Would love your insights, and if you’ve had similar colours even better!!

PS “She’s” just had a dust bath so looks extra scraggly

Maybe Splash? What does the parents look like?

I don’t know as they were shipped eggs and from a breeder with a large flock and a lot of colours! She was completely pitch black when born apart from those little white bits even her whole beak… Her two hatch mates are one bright cream and one which is kinda yellowy white with a big defined black patch on “her” back.

They’re four weeks old (today!) if that helps.

She looks to be black or a dark blue. Breeding her to a another blue Silkie should tell you if you really wanted to know which color she is (you’d get black, blue and splash. If she is black you’d only get black and blue). As to the lighter feathers that are sticking out, those are her chick feathers being replaced by her adult feathers. The little fuzzies will fall off, nothing to worry about. Your Silkie may developed orange leakage on her neck depending on if she came from a mixed color flock or a BBS pen.

Here is one of my baby silkies from years ago. You can see the little lighter colored fuzzies on him as well.
