Silkie thread!

Hey everyone, had my 2 silkies and my silkie cross out today in the new coop. We are letting them spend a little time out there only during the day. The lil silkie is too small in my opinion, plus we haven't finished the landscaping yet around the coop, so technically its not totally critter proof. We are waiting for the sprinkler system install to be over! Anyways, I was looking at my Silkie, Einstein, and thinking...it really isn't white when its outside. Almost looks grayish, or with grayish hairs in the white. It was't really noticeable until it stood beside the white cochin silkie cross. So here are the updated pics.

7 weeks old today. Here is Einstein with hatch mate Scrambled.




Close-up of Einsteins comb (or lack of). Can you see the grayish hairs/feathers on its head?


Here is Scambled, getting feathers finally! And growing a lot. It still doesn't stand up strait all the time, making it look really tiny!



So let me know what you think!
 
I'm having a great time looking at everyone's pictures...so many beautiful birds out there, makes me want to build more coops hehehe. I, too, spent some time with my baby babies...my 3-3WK Silkies.
This is them a week ago...

And here they are today...


and the oldest of the three...wondering if he would be a grey Silkie.

Happy Mother's Day to me!!! So far one from an egg marked Lavender and one Paint, though both chicks look very dark... We'll see how they look when they dry and fluff out. There were 9 going into lockdown. Come on babies!!!

Hope you have a great hatch!! I have Catdance eggs cooking too but mine have 10 days to go. I hatch one lavender a couple of months ago from Catdance and it was totally black till it dried, then a beautiful pale silver.
