Hey guys!

I recently bought some silkie eggs and managed to successfully hatch 4/6!

I've been doing some research online into the colours they can be and I know only a few are recognised as 'standard'.

Could someone experienced in silkie raising please tell me what colours my chicks are? I can only hazard a guess as I'm not overly experienced and this is just a hobby.. here are some pics, they're gorgeous birds! They're all just over 3 weeks old..

Chick 1





Chick 2



Chick 3





Chick 4



Chick 3 and 4 both have white on their tails and wings but you can notice that chick 3 has more of a golden tint than chick 4, which is slightly more yellow on the head..

Here's a couple more photos of them all together.. and there's one of my biggest baby of all.. Sunny my Salmon Faverolles Roo who's almost 7 weeks old! He was the only egg to hatch out of 6 faverolles eggs.




Sunny (the most spoilt chicken ever!)



Thanks everyone :)
