Is this Silkie chick blue or splash or...?

[Yoshii]

Hi all! Just got my first Ideal order in today, which included a number of silkies! Now, most were immediately identifiable; I ordered two white, two BBS, two partridge, and two gray. The partridge and gray are the obviously chipmunky ones (though I'll be derned if I can really tell the two apart, aside from if I look REALLY CLOSE what I assume are the partridge have a sliiightly red cast), and the blue is... blue xD, and the two whites are whitish-yellow with a REALLY faint buff tint on places.

That leaves this little fella. He must be the other BBS chick, but he's just SO PALE. I'd think he were white if both of the other two white chicks didn't have the pale yellow/buff cast. He's more a pure white with a little silver cast to him. So, do I have a remarkably pale blue, a splash, or something else? Thanks!

Here is one of the white chicks, so you can see the yellow cast I'm talking about:

i second white, im pretty sure it would be grey if it was a blue, and splash would have some more color?


Its adorable though! I'd smuggle it home any day

I agree, I think it will be white.

White I hatched out a couple just like that...that are feathering in white now.

White, huh? Well then! I learned something today xD! Looks like Ideal left a BBS silkie out, then ^^;.

Is there any particular reason the other two whites have the buff cast on them, and this one doesn't?

The splash ones look white or yellowish and eventually get some grey to their wings when they start feathering out.

So could have either.
