I've got a few, but the color doesn't photograph well, so I didn't post any. I'll get some up this afternoon.

Alright, I managed to snap a few pictures of them this afternoon.

from the first pics, Those look to all be splash, lavender (self blue) are always a solid even pale powder blue color as chicks, it's a pretty substantial difference once you see one

I'd say yours is either a light blue or a splash. Here's some pics I took of chicks I've hatched here as a comparison - they've all grown up here, so I know what colors they turned out to be. The only comparison I had of a lavender was a bantam cochin. Hope this helps!

Dark blue Silkie:

Light blue Silkie:

And just to throw you for a loop, this guy sprouted reddish feahters later on and grew up to be what I believe is a blue partridge silkie:

I also have an ameraucana chick right now that has down color similar to yours and its feathering out to be a splash.
