Cute video! I've been trying to figure out a safe way to take my three week old ones out side to play. I can't help you on the color. I have the same problem!

It's real easy to take the babies outside.Make sure you have a enclosed space outside so nothing can attack them from above & around the enclosed area and grab a chair and sit down and relax out there with them.

That's the problem. I don't have anything safe....

Here is what I'm talking about any kind of surrounding

Maybe I'll just use a heavy cardboard box with the bottom cut out. I would definitely stay right with them!

In the big cardboard box cut the bottom out so they can graze on the grass.

Old playpens and baby gates work too

Unless they can get through the rails on them.

I am so excited that I will be joining all of you silkie owners!! I pick up my 2 white silkie hens & 1 white silkie roo this Sunday from fellow BYCer "ChooksinChoppers" and I couldn't be happier to not only be getting these beauties but to also be able to help some rehome their "babies" & keep them together. I will post pics as soon as we get a few taken!
