I have all gray silkie chicks hatching. Mom could be black or splash. Dad is white. Will the gray stay gray or will it become splash later? I am selling these and I want to be able to label it correctly.

The lighter coloured ones are blues, not splash; the dark one could be black or dark blue. Since dad was white, you need to say they were from mixed colour breeding pens--chances are pretty high that hidden colour genes will show up as plumage develops.
