Alright, I have several chicks, some are silverish/ivory (but they're ENTIRELY silver, not silver backed with white heads), some are striped silver with yellow, and others are silver with orange stripes. What colors should these guys turn out to be?

Ok, Silvers with yellow stripes should end up Silver Pearl and dark silver with Orange stripes should be Slate. Ivories would start as yellow like a White but it is a different yellow that is hard to explain. The top chick looks to me like a Silver Pearl and the other one is either some type of Cinnamon or could be Slate depending on how dark the Silver is. Pictures are hard to say for sure with different lighting and stuff. If I was there I could tell you for sure what you had.
 
I doubt it but you can try. I just meant that pictures are hard to tell without a doubt. Being there I could tell you for sure. With pictures of chicks and the subtle differences in the same colors I am guessing. Some I can tell for sure in pictures but some are too hard to know which mutation because some are so similar and only have little differences. Make sense? I can tell you for sure when they are adults though or when they get some feathers.
