Buff Silkie Thread!

Date sort Score sort
Hi! I'm new to silkies and buffs. I just FINALLY had a successful hatch of Buff silkies. I had ordered 8 eggs, and had 5 hatch just today. I'm so excited. 4 of them are fluffed, the last one just hatched. I'm wondering about the coloring of newly hatched chicks. I have one that looks like it is really blonde. Another with a more golden color down, and some with more dark in the coloring. Is this normal?
I'll try to get some pics later on when they are all dried out and I can do a photoshoot.

well, I have a bad cell phone pic. Mama still doesn't want me messing with them I was barely able to pull them out from under her to snap a pic and my DH is home and will get upset if I keep bugging her! LOL I wonder if the darkest is Red Partridge? Because now that I think about it the seller placed one in with the buffs because she didn't have a full 8. There was one egg marked RS the others were marked BS. So the dark one could be that.
