Silkie chick colors?

[Craycraychickenlay]

Can anyone help me identify these silkies? I believe the one on the left is splash but not sure about the one on the right.
They are from hatching eggs that I ordered and the possible blue, splash, lavender, white.

also if it is lavender will it be a problem to mix it in with my splash/blues? I’m not trying to breed lavender because I don’t have any others. But will it create a problem for my splash/blues?

thanks!

So hard to tell this young! The one on the right looks like a lavender. Left one could be a splash. Honestly, I am not sure.
If you are trying to keep your colors pure, then you should not mix your lavender with your blue/splash pen. Sounds like you got your eggs from a mix colored pen, so will genetically be hard to tell which birds are carriers of the lavender gene. Lavender is a recessive gene. It is possible to have BBS birds carry lavender, but will be hard to keep it all straight. Depends on what your breeding goals are.
Hope this makes sense.

I see a headspot on the one on the chick on the right. It could be Lavender Cuckoo, Blue Cuckoo, or Splash Cuckoo.
Here's a headspot on a Dominant White.

The parents of your birds, either one, or both have the Barring Gene.
