Silkie thread!

My silkies I hatched 2 days ago, first trip outside!!

So squeezable!

I'm a total newbie and I'm in need of some help with some color id's. These are pix of my 6 week old muppets - sorry that they aren't very "posed" for clarity, but these little dudes were psyched to be outside! 2 were hatched out black and now I don't know what they will end up being. 1 looked like a chipmunk when he/she hatched and I'm (again) clueless about the color. Now the fourth one I'm gonna take a stab and say that he/she is white

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Looking at this young lady I can definitely see where my chick is lacking some "poof". And she certainly looks much younger than 6 months.

The two in front maybe cuckoo and the other beside the white one I believe is gray, though I did have a chipmonk that became a blue.

Yes I would say two cuckoos, a grey and a white...

Are you sure you can't coop the birds in the night before? Usually when folks come from far away, you can coop in the night before.

WOO-HOO! I'm so excited to get such fun colors! Thank you both so much for the info - I love these bloomin' little birds!

She's beautiful! I don't think her crest is too small. You're right, her wings are really tight! Not a long back... I don't know, I am not great at critiquing. But I wouldn't pass her up, she's really pretty. I love blue.

While you guys are in the critiquing mode please take a look at my 6 mth. old girl Smoke (I know really original, huh?). I am currently disabled and can't go to a show so I'm really relying on you guys for help. I think her crest is a bit small and tail and cushion lacking. I love her wings, foot feathering and not pictured are her perfectly spaced toes.

Please don't worry about hurting my feelings!!! Thanks!! I forgot to mention that she is trimmed below her eyes.
