Silkie chick colors ?

[MysteryChicken]

Ok thanks. He must just be a super pale splash, because we used to have another splash and they look way different.

He looks like a very pale splash. I wonder if you can enhance the color somehow though a next generation breeding.

I don't know, maybe, but we are going to have to rehome him anyway, his crowing would annoy the neighbors right now we only have a pair of silkie roosters, him and a black crossbeaked one.

That's sad. He's really a gorgeous boy.

Awesome that’s you! I’ve never heard of platinum!
That’s one is taking so long to grow feathers. He’s still basically featherless while the other 2 his age have tail feathers and almost done with wing feathers

This is unrelated, but do you think my silkie could be platinum? i was wondering what color he was. He is pretty much white everywhere but his head.View attachment 2425354

He is gray. They can be this light. He is a cutie!

What colors are these babies? 4 smaller are 6 days old. Older 3 are 2w1d. The 2 whitish ones are paints, but unsure about the other colors. Thanks each have colored leg bands

Grey band View attachment 2425277

orange band (paint) few hidden spots View attachment 2425279View attachment 2425280

Here are my guesses:
dark blue band is blue
pink band is black
light blue band is partidge, possibly silver partridge
red band is buff, though I have not heard of plantinum, so time will tell.
grey band is also partridge, splash are born silvery white and develop spots later, compared to the paints that are born with their spots.
Congratulations on your new babies! They are beautiful!
