I'd say mostly splash though that darker blue one might be a nice light blue. One seems to have a light beak, or am I just seeing things? They look like my chicks look. Nice babies. You'll have some clue when the wing feathers start coming in about 2 weeks. Often the splash start out looking white. If the feathers start coming out white you have either a white or a splash, blues will have blue little feathers.

The one chick looks to have lighter skin, not the dark color it should be.

One of my splash roos does have lighter comb/skin color though. I'm trying to improve that with my birds. I'm so glad that you are happy with them!

Oh, forgot to add, some of my silkie chicks hatch out with the white toe tips also. Usually they darke with age just fine.

That's what I read is they do seem to darken with age. If they don't no biggie but if they do great!

I love them thank you again

haha i do love them, I have a 5-6 month old black pet quality cockerel silkie, and 4 white silkies (unsure of their quality but two have too many toes haha and im rehoming those two cuties to a pet home), and then these gorgeous three which if they mature to look like show quality I may pen them by themselves and breed them.

Also got some silkies in the incubator too from another breeder on here

Hubby loves them too

as for the tootsies I read that sometimes they darken as they get older I hope that's the case but if not no biggie

Sometimes silkies can hatch out with lighter skin, or pink toes. That normally will turn dark slate within 1-2 weeks.
