hello I just had 2 out of my 6 silkie eggs hatch. The hen is blue and the roosters are blue and blue cuckoo. Now that the babies have started to hatch I have the question of what colour will they be. My first chick has the “chipmunk” pattern which I usually read is partridge only I don’t have any reds or golds in my flock. Only blues whites and cuckoos. I have read about the chipmunk designed babies feathering in black at times. What do you think he could look like with the parents given colours?

The second baby I’m guessing is blue but I just want to be sure. I had to assist and it had a silvery blue colour but as it dries it turns more and more silver. Is this just a very light blue?

The first chick is definitely partridge. Your blue Cockerel looks to be carrying it (gold in the crest) and your hen must be carrying it unseen too. The second looks almost lavender to me, but is probably just a light blue.
