Silkie Chick Bearded Or Not?

Hi, yesterday my broody hen hatched out 5 chicks, the mum is a bearded splash silkie and the dad is a non bearded red partridge silkie, the other chicks all look like the chick in the picture below but the shades vary. I was wondering are these chicks bearded? and would anybody be able to guess at what colour they would be?

if the cheeks are fuzzy then bearded, if they are not and more smooth than nonbearded. I'm trying to look at the photo and want to say it looks bearded to me.

@esme13 I was thinking bearded too, nice to know people think the same as I was hoping for more bearded silkies.

can anyone take a guess at what colour it might be?

Bearded and looks blue... you *might* get red leakage come out later as dad is red partridge...
