I have 10 silkie chicks, love them all to death. I have 4 whites, 2 partridge, 3 buff or red, not sure yet. I have 1 that I'm not sure about, does anyone have any ideas as to its coloring? I don't really care about sex any more, I'll re home roos when they get bigger. Here are a few pictures of the chick I wonder about. I have also posted a picture of my small flock. Silkies are so funny, mine just realized today that they have wings. .
 
I own silkies, too. The funny thing about them is that their colors change. I had a tiny yellow baby who grew up to be a white and grey roo. I had a fluffy white one who grew up to have brown patches everywhere, even though he didn't have it when he was a baby. So its super hard to tell. I think you can only be positive on the black babies (who don't have much color change).
 
I figured it would be white but the gray on the wings and the stripes down the back threw me on color. It is also the only chick that doesn't have a lot of adult feathers coming in. One of the biggest chicks but seems to be growing slower than the rest, at least on the feathers growing in.
