Chick Pics for New 2 and Our Chart

[KsKingBee]

EDITED-

I am starting this thread because I have a lot of pics for New 2 and I am having a time keeping them all straight. If you have differing opinions on the colors of the chicks, Please comment! I know the parents of all chicks but a few of them are showing some different genetics that I didn't know were there.

First batch are two day old hatchlings from my IB Pied WE cock over IBSP, IB Pied, Cameo SP, or Cameo WE hens.
Both of the Silver Pied hens are also low percentage Spaulding, as you can see we are getting IB, White,

EDITED - Loud Pied and Black Shoulder. I have NO idea where the BS is coming from!

The Pied chick was splayed in the hatcher and is rubber banded and fitted with shoes.









Here are the one week old chicks from the same pen; one White on the left and the other two are Black Shoulder.





Loud Pieds from the same clutch.








That's all for now, computer is acting up and I have work to attend to, so I will post more later today. I have four more pens...

Thank you @KsKingBee !

They're so cute and such great additions for the Chick Chart!
(I love that little beak-to-beak communication in the first picture)

EDITED

This next batch is from my low percentage Spaulding Purple BS over low % Spaulding Purple BS, IBBS, and Cameo hens.
These are two-day old hatchlings and are mostly Black Shoulder chicks, IBs, and Purple chicks.







Now from the same pen one week old chicks. You will notice that the wing feathers on the BS chicks are turning color and I presume that they will be Purple BS.

Nice chicks, my only comment is the chicks you said they are silver pieds they are actually nice loud pied chicks, they have a lot of color more than a silver chick should have.

Thank you @q8peafowl that is exactly the kind of comments I need. I thought that because they have that dark area in between the shoulders that that meant it was silver. I have also heard that a Silver Pied has less than 20% color, so I agree with what you are saying. Would you think that the yellow chicks that are beginning to color are SP? Another point I am unclear of; I have noticed that most of the SP birds I have gotten from Legg have dark streaks, like eyebrows, above the eyes, but on top of their head. Is that a SP marking?

OK, just to check, should I call those cuties "Pied" on the chart?

Would loud pied be a more accurate or helpful description?

You have some issues with your indicated colors and patterns. In this group, there are no silver pieds. It does look like you have a loud pied chick which, in my world, is a bird with a single silver pied gene with an otherwise pied bird. And unless that cock is split cameo, the chicks cannot be cameo. The chick does kind of look lighter like a cameo but it could be the silver pied influence.

Do you guys think we need genetics info on the Database? (not provided by me of course)
