Silkie Colors

[horsefeathers 97]

Hello.

I have some beautiful Silkie chicks that I hatched for our 4H group, but I'm not sure of their colors. I was wondering if I could get some help in identifying what colors these little guys are. I'm still trying to get the hang of uploading pictures and sizing them to fit, so I apologize for the poor quality. The 2nd and 3rd pictures are two different birds, but they seem to be the same color.



The last two pictures are the same bird. I wanted to show the lavenderish color that it has in it's wings. Thank you for helping out

DOMINANT WHITE, likely with silver (as no red pigment shows) and e^b based--that is a GUESS; knowing the parents' varieties, and any future offspring from a breeding to a known variety will help narrow the possibilities:

Thank you so much Sonoran Silkies for your help

I think that these are going to be some good birds for showing, I just needed to know what colors to list them as.
