Silkie thread!

OKay, I had a chick just hatch.  He did great!  Once he started to zip, he just went right for it.  :)  I took pictures of him right when he pushed out of the shell and now he's starting to fluff...  Here we go!!!  I'm thinking he's Blue???  Has a bit of a vaulted skull-- not nearly as high as his siblings have been hatched with.

Perfect timing, now I know what you guys mean when you say vaulted skull. What a cute little guy. Thanks for sharing.

Vaulted skulls are easier to see when they are wet-- you can't tell the difference between a vaulted and a non vaulted when they dry off and fluff out. :)

Yeah, now that it's even more fluffed I see some darker spots on his back! I guess I was wrong on the Blue, that's alright.

I'm just relieved I have no more hatching for a while now.

That picture is a great one!
It's like he's yelling out to the big world "Here I am". Or maybe just checking things out..? lol
 
Looks splash unless that pink color in the belly and wings is really there.

There's no pink there in real life, I promise.
So it seems that our little splash rooster has been busy. I was hoping I was going to get some Curly babies.

Curly is my rooster, the splash belongs to the farm.
But, it's not all over yet! There are about 20 more eggs left.

If that's what a Splash looks like when they first hatch, we must have 7 of them.

Like this one? Or am I way off?
This shade can go either way - it is either going to be a darker based splash (not a more diluted or whiter base) or its going to be a lighter blue shade.

My splash usually hatch slightly off white, and start feathering in with blue splashings in the wings, typically any chicks I've ever had that are this color are blue or silver gene whites (and feather out white)
