Silkie thread!

[Dcawdrey]

Hey all, Medina,TN here. Just wanted to check in and see how everyone has survived this winter. I raise various 'Common" chickens, Black Copper Marans, Pure white Silkies and both White and Indian Blue Peacocks. I have sold eggs on eBay with good luck with hatching, even shipping all over the US. I am looking forward to a great hatch this year. I am also going to start selling day old chicks this year, just need to figure out all the details.

Just wanted to stop by and say Hello!

Ok so I just got 2 little silkie chicks yesterday. One is a blue the other is my little mystery chick. I'm hoping y'all can help me figure out it's color...
Background:
The chicks dad/rooster was a buff/lavender splash.
The chicks mom(s) hens that were in with the rooster were blue, splash and lavender splash.

I thought it was a buff but the little knowledge I have a genetics I thought you had to have a buff and a buff to get a buff...????
Witch is not this little chicks parents so I'm at a loss to what it may be...
Any guesses or anyone know?

Here i are some pics of this mystery chick

She looks to be a little white feathered baby.

No the pics don't do her justice. I had her beside whites and she is much darker, it's a gold bronzy type coloring with a touch of lavender under the wings and neck. Her wing feather are coming in cream.

They best way to explain the color is palomino

Did you candle the eggs during the incubation period? Are they in an incubator or under a hen?
