For anyone familiar with silkie chicks....

I have a baby that is 2 weeks old today. S/he has wing feathers, but so does her mom, who is a lavender splash silkie, so I am not sure how to tell yet. Yes I am impatient waiting to see what grows in... but I figure other people will probably know for sure by now. Hopefully the video is clear/close enough. My camera is not the best.

There are 2 possible dads. One of them is a white silkie and the other is a blue that has smooth feathers, but carries the silkie gene. If he is the daddy, from what I've read, his babies will be 50-50 silkie/smooth.

And while we're at it, what color? blue?

ETA: possible dad aren't technically 'silkies' I suppose, since baby has a naked neck...
