Silkie colors?

[bangarain]

I hatched 17 silkies this weekend, and I’m obsessed with them. I have a few ideas about what color some of them may be, but I’d love some input from some more experienced eyes…they come from a mixed pen, so could be anything!


I have two of these!


This showgirl has a chipmunk pattern down her back.

Mostly white with a few black spots.



Blue or lavender?


I have a couple of these that don’t have dark skin - I’m curious to see if the color will change.

I also have quite a few dark gray/black ones. Is there any way to tell whether they’ll be black, blue, cuckoo?


This one was very tiny and weak, but I’m very pleased to say she’s doing much better today!

Lavender.

The first and third are likely black while the second and fourth are likely blue.

The chipmunk ones are partridge. The ones that are somewhat chipmunk, not sure. The yellow ones I assume are white, but yet I sold some I hatched and one was pure white, so makes me think the yellow/gold ones will perhaps be slightly buff or tan even?

This is Millie. She was a chipmunk. She's 3 weeks old here.

Cuckoo or barred would be a chick with a head dot, usually black with a whitish dot, but I’ve seen other barred colors, I think it just has to have the head dot.

I think I see some partridge, Buff, blue, lavender and im not sure what else- it’s hard to tell for me but that’s what I see personally
