I'm curious about her coloring. Any ideas?

I'm inquiring about the white-ish chick. I think her mother was my white Easter Egger, and the silkie father was white with some faded buff coloring on his neck (hardly noticeable unless he was in the sun).

I know when her mom was a chick, she seemed to be a brighter yellow than this little girl. Is she going to be white and the pale chick down is due to being cross bred? Is it possible she'll be a different color (like a pale gray, maybe)?

Very cute! :jumpy It's hard to say what chicks will look like from their chick fluff especially when dealing with mixed breeds but if both parents are white then there's a very high likelihood that she will be white as well. You'll know in a few days when her feather tips are coming in! The other chick looks a lot like the Partridge Silkies I hatched. :jumpy

Yep, one of the mama EEs is a partridge, so this one might be hers :3 and the third mom is sort of a ginger color with some black feathers on her neck. I think my 3rd egg from this batch (still in the incubator) might be hers, so I'm hoping for a red baby
