Do newly hatched silkie chicks have blue cheeks?

[SilkieCanada]

Mine dont appear to have blue cheeks, or when does the blue start to show?

 

[Elite Silkies]

I'm not sure what you mean by blue cheeks. They have black skin and should be born with it.

I think they mean earlobes?

The earlobes turn blue after several weeks....I think I remember them turning around a couple of months of age? I don't remember exactly.

Yeah, I feel like a goofer now! I raised lots of silkies and thought, what the heck is blue cheeks, lol. I am trying to remember when they start getting blue ear lobes, but I honestly have never paid attention. I do know they are not born with them, they get them later on.
