Silkies 3 Day Old Chicks What Color Will They Grow to Be?

[Silked]

I’m attaching pictures of my 3 day old silkie chicks. Would love if someone can tell me or give their best guess on what color they’ll be when they’re older! Also can you tell if they’re bearded or not? I’ve labeled the chicks with numbers in red. Thought that may be the best way to organize it. The brooder box was dirty sorry except for the one I took after I cleaned it. Thank you!

I am waiting to see what everyone thinks as well. I just picked up some silkies from TSC not too long ago.

They're all definitely bearded. Do you know what color their parents were? It could help with telling what the chicks will be. 3 looks like silver partridge to me. 5 could be gold partridge.

Thank you for the help! The parents came from someone who has silkies in all different colors so I’m not sure.

How exciting! I hope we find out. Yours look similar?

And thank you for answering about them being bearded!

We unfortunately lost the black one. So I went and bought 4 more cause 1 loss equals 4 gained in chicken math, but we lost the 2nd black one as well On the bright side we have 7 little fuzzy butts still!

Aw sorry about the black ones. That’s so hard! They’re all so cute. Looks like you have a couple chipmunk coloring ones and I bet the white one with black tipped wings is going to be pretty!!

@Amer Helped me with the colors of mine. Maybe they can chime in on yours as well.

1 looks white and I think the rest are some variation of silver partridge (also called gray) but it is hard to tell at this stage.
