If your buff one is like mine (the one on the right) I'm sure it will turn out white see pics at 1 week then 3 week - she's getting whiter all the time (we gotta think of a name change now though - we called her Buffy lol) - not sure about your speckled one though:

OMG! I cannot wait until ours hatch out! Those are so absolutely adorable I can hardly stand it. Another week and few days till hatch time.
Cochins are due to hatch next Tuesday thru Thursday and I felt them move in the eggs when I checked the dates on them today!
But the Silkies are going to be a blast! I have a feeling it is time to start more coops!

The whites appeared the cream/light yellow color until their feathers grew in white. They did not have any speckles or other color, but I only have 2 chicks on which to base my observations. These are also my first silkies, so I don't know what to expect. But it is so much fun to learn by doing!

I picked some eggs up locally, at Golden Egg Farm (www.goldeneggfarm.com), and hatched them out!

Yes, I hatched them. What a nerve wracking experience it was, being my first hatch in well over a decade. I was checking the temperature and humidity several times a day. Then I decided to buy a Hova Genesis and now I can just sit back and enjoy the ride!

Well it is great you live close enough to a breeder that shows and has great looking silkies. You can tell that your chicks are going to very pretty when they grow up. It is nerve racking with some bators. I have debated with myself on getting a genesis or a cabinet GQF with the bells and whistes.
