Silkie babies--what color chicks = what as adults

[Shared Acres]

I have a white roo and a red hen and a splash hen. All silkies.

I have 9 babies soo far.

What color possibilities do I have? And I know that some will change as they grow older. Like the racing stripes will be partridge, someone said.

What about others?

What will black with red tinges be?

How about light yellow with a couple of black dots?

Are white silkies born white?

With a white rooster, and a splash hen, and red hen, the chicks color could be mixed.

Wow... I don't know... but I sure would like to see photos of them in 4 months.

Mrs. AK-Bird-Brain :

Wow... I don't know... but I sure would like to see photos of them in 4 months.

I would also like that. I would guess that the racing stripe ones are partridge, and maybe the yellow one will be white or splash. Then I would think the reddish ones came from your red hen.​

Anyone else have any ideas?

I'm getting a lot of black ones with red tinting at the end of the feathers.

I have silkies from Crackers that are almost 10 weeks old... I'm just now starting to see signs of male/female. Mostly in the comb, but some in the carriage.

I have some that are about 10 weeks old and I don't have any clue how to tell if they are boy or girl. I am clueless as to chickens.
