Silkie chicks

[Tlosee]

Can anyone tell me what color these two silkie chicks will be? (They are supposed to be blue or splash)

Thanks!

Thank you! Not sure why the photo didn’t post the first time, but it looks like it is there now.

They are both likely splash. Neither one of them look blue. Splash are a bit tricky as they can look almost white at hatch, I was convinced mine were lavender‘s until they started developing the little flecks later on. These don’t usually appear until they are about a month old. They will gradually develop more of them as they get older.
