Silkie thread!

OK, how can I tell if I got a white or a splash silkie chick? I just got two today in my order from MPC and one is blue but the other not sure. The little chick in question is on the left, sorry about the pic being a little blurry my camera has been acting a little funny lately.

hard to say. you're probably going to have to wait a week or so till the wing feathers start coming in and see if any blue feathering comes or if its all white. I have a feeling its splash though, I see a pink tipped toe and I see that alot with splash and blues.

I'm leaning toward splash also, but I could be white. Flash cameras really effect coloring.

Thanks! I did take the pic with the flash off, otherwise my camera seems to make everything glow. She does have a white toe on each foot. I can't wait to see how she feathers out

And I have to say she is the fiestiest of the bunch! She has not stopped eating and zooming all over the brooder since we put them in there.
