I lost one of my 10 Silkie chicks yesterday

It was so unexpected and I have no clue as to why. I had to help a lavender chick hatch because it was upside down and it is a tiny thing. It kept falling onto its back and couldn't get up and wasn't eating. I hand fed it for the first 3 days (good thing I had the Kaybee hand feeding formula Catdance suggested) then it started eating on its own and is doing well. The one I lost was one of the only 2 white chicks I hatched. It was a big chick with a super vaulted skull. It is the one that everyone was sure was a rooster from the pictures I posted. The chicks are on Corid just in case.

Today I banded and numbered the porcelain chicks to keep track of how their color develops as suggested by ChickNmamma. It will help me in the future pick out the chicks that will develop the best color

Does the length of the wing feathers give a clue to what sex the chicks are? Some are very short and some twice as long.

Here are my chicks by number and color~

Chick # 1 Porcelain

Chick #2 Porcelain

Chick# 3 Porcelain

Chick # 4 Porcelain

Chick # 5 Porcelain

Chick # 6 Porcelain

Chick # 7 The tiny lavender~

Chick # 8 The only Blue~

Chick # 9 The only white~
Serious SNIP after drooling again.

No - the long/short feathers didn't work. Goggle showed long feathers - that's supposed to be a girl trait.. so I was hoping and wishing.

Quote: I would suspect it will be black - Black is dominant over Buff. The chick shows some of the buff trait around the face - but Black will probably dominate.
