I love it how chicks can be so confusing on their color lol I think that is a blue chick that needs to feather out more it's kinda hard to tell from the pic though. What color is the underside of the chick? How old? Let her feather out some more before you decide what you want to do with her/him also as mentioned on here recently don't rush on any decisions because of the slow nature of maturation silkies tend to have.

Crazy color combinations happen from what I've seen so far when colors are mixed either unintentionally or intentionally in a unconventional sense. Sometimes a bird can appear to be one color but really it's breeding background doesn't support the color assumption so when you cross it and get the unexpected you're left scratching your head

Do you know what color the parent stock are of this chick? That might help

Are you talking about the lighter coloured head? That is simply juvenile plumage.

I was just talking about crazy color combos not that particular chick since the poster asked how they come about. I think the chick is blue that needs to feather out more.

I caught my young roo posing this afternoon and loved how this pic came out! He is such a sweetie, not even a year old, he lets the chicks sleep under his wings...
