Freshly hatched Silkie, what color/pattern do we have here

[BlossomSilkies]

Possible mamas are Paint, Black, or Black/White Cuckoo. My rooster is black.

Some white on the tips of the toes and wings, lots of little white feathers on the body, white bottom, some white on the legs.

So cute!
If it were getting the cuckoo gene, you’d see a small, maybe faint white dot on the top of its head.

If not, it most likely will lose the white “penguin” markings as it grows and be a solid black cutie.

Thanks, good to know and guess what, freshly hatched last night and has a white spot on its head.

I think that y'all have a black silkie with faint penguin markings.

Take a look at this picture.

I feel like you have the one in the box that says "light". Compare both that chick with the chick you hatched, I do not know much about silkies

There is a chance that I may be wrong.

Chick 5 has arrived, still a little damp. Lots of gold showing on this one. Archie's (my current rooster) dad was Rufus, who was sort of a dark buff color. What do we think for color on this one?

Oh, yep could be. Here is an updated picture of that chick. 10 days old here:
