Hello all,
I bought 3 Silkie chicks from a local farmer, they are currently 3 weeks old and living happily with one of my broody hens. Now I'm new to Silkies so forgive me as I don't know what I'm looking for! But now their feathers are coming in, one of the chicks (the Partridge) I think is looking less like a silkie than the others. What do you think? And if it's not a Silkie, any idea what it is?
This is the 3 together. Pretty sure the black and white ones are Silkies.
Here is my little Partridge, love the beautiful feather colours.
I don't mind what it is, I'm just curious.
Thank you knowledgable peoples!

I've just caught the little whippet, it is soooo fast, it's really hard to catch! 

I think it's safe to say that they are silkies! I'm glad your broody is doing well with them!
