There you all are! lol I had a silkie rooster when I was younger and he was my baby, i loved him more then anything and he was spoiled rotten. Had his own bed in my room and everything lol. Well im a mom now, we finally bought a house so I finally got silkies again yesterday! They are only a day old I picked out 6 bearded, all different colors and I am hoping you all can clearify the colors on them. I picked out a Black, white, blue, splash, buff and possibly partridge or something. But now that I got them home, and can get a better look at them im really curious about two of the colors. The one I thought was a splash is soo light colored and I dont see any other colors on it. Is it still a splash or could it be a lavender or something? And the other one I am very curious about is my darker buff. Its not quite as orange as the other one, its more brownish with a grey back. Im curious what color this one will be. I picked out all the different colors that I could find And does anyone have any pics of their silkies as adults who might have started out looking like any of mine, that they can share to give me an idea?. Im so curious what colors I should be calling these guys (well hopefully girls) Also is there a reason why some of the chicks have vaulted heads and some dont? Does it mean those will have a bigger crest then the others or will they still have a big one to? I am so excited to finally get these beautiful birds again, and get to chat about them with fellow lovers

Here are some pics of my babies I took yesterday at not even 12hrs old. I dont know if the camera flash might be tweaking the lighting at all, but I hope you can still make out their colors. I will take more as they grow

that's why I want some! Looks like they may be losing moisture too quickly. Hope they make it out of the shells okay! It's not even been a week!

Aww she is so pretty, sorry she died :[

I'm sorry she is so pretty! I had to sell my blue splash rooster (supposed to be a hen but you know how sexing silkies is! Haha lol) and a buff hen.

Thank you both. She was such a sweetheart but she must have had something wrong with her. She never did lay an egg and she had problems with sour crop when she was about 8 months old. I was actually surprised that she made it to 2 years old.

Three of your chicks look like mine! They're so adorable!

Thanks Any ideas on the colors? Im unsure on the light grey/lavender one? And the darker buff with grey back.

 

[wvchix]

I'm not sure either. I can't wait to figure out the colors and sex of mine too!
