[brownlikewoah]

This is my first time ever having chickens, and so far I love them to death. I got four silkie chicks, two black and two white- although one of them isn't as light as the other, it is still white? I also got two chicks that the feed store said are Ameraucanas, are you guys able to tell if they are true Ameraucanas, or EE at this age? What colors will they be when they grow up? Also, can you guys tell about how old my little ones are? Thanks, and enjoy the pictures!!!

How cute !! Your white silkies both look like they will be white. I have 10 baby white silkies & they looks almost like a creamy, yellowey color until their feathers start to come in white. Theyll start to puff out at about 6-15weeks old. Depends on the chicken. I dont know much about the ameraucanas because i dont think ive ever knowingly owned one lol. But your chicks are adorable. Enjoy the baby stage !!! lol. ps - im really liking the quality of the photos, what camera do you have ?!! im jealous !

I used my cannon rebel XT camera, it is hard to take a bad picture with it! I'm trying to take as many pictures as possible while they are young, they are already sprouting new feathers since I took the pictures!
