What's the bantam weight for UK Silkies?

In the UK, large fowl Silkies should weigh around 4lb for roos and 3lb for hens, and bantams should weigh around 600g for roos and 500g for hens.

Yep. Now gotta wait on the rest. Should have one chick hatched tomorrow.

Good news is the chick has black skin. I can see through the pip hole. What the color of the chick's down is, not sure yet. Thinking possibly whitish yellow.
