Hiya, and welcome to BYC! Very pretty!

Are those three pictures of the same bird? What I see, I would guess red partridge silkie in the first two pictures, and possible splash in the last one.

They are all the same bird

Welcome to BYC! My first thought was red pyle but I don't think that is a common color in silkies. Where did you get him?
It will be interesting to see how he grows out.

TSC! I was shocked when a little gray chick started to get orange tips on his feathers. He will be stunning when he is full grown

Welcome to Backyard Chickens. This is a great place to explore and hang out. Maybe sit him on your hand? Cannot see him.

He is a very active little guy an my camera is to slow to catch a good picture of him. I'll try again today and post more pictures

He could be a mixed color, maybe blue with red leakage. I've read somewhere that red pyle is just splash with red leakage. Don't quote me, I'm not well versed in genetics.
