thanks,
I'm beginning to think the "odd chick" is a different breed. it has a white spot on the back of the head and in looking here, some breeds do hatch with a white dot. i didn't know I had a breed that did this, but maybe the silver pencil plymouth rocks do? we'll have to see how this chick develops. And I'll have to be very careful about marking eggs before they're taken out of the silkie coop from here on out. lol

NICE black breast! Pretty rare to find partridge silkies males with that much black on their breasts--most have far too much gold; ideally the breast should be solid black--yours is pretty close!

Colour is too buff to be a good red. A red should look...RED, not yellow or orange. There is a difference in hue.

First one, not sure. It has a back pattern sometimes seen on reds, but feather colour does not look red. Second is probably splash, although it could be mottled. This little guy is hysterically mottled; I need to get more recent photos. Sweet bird, but lacking a lot of qualities of a good silkie:
