Silkies Age, and Color?

[lswatson111304]

Just wondering if there is any way to tell yet. I realize that they are very hard to sex, so I understand if not. I am also new to this and unsure as to what color they are considered.

Darker one on Left, lighter one on Right.

Still no names!

Very young!

My silkie hen, Lorraine @ 8 weeks old. Your's is probably around 4 or 5 weeks old. My guess only.

The colouring is called blue.

ETA: My silkie doesn't have the blue skin. Not sure how this happens. Both parents are pure silky, and have blue skin

I found this, being 5 week old silkies for comparison.

The lighter one's crest looks more spiky and rooish ... the darker one's crest seems to be developing towards a poof ... thus more hennish.

I would have guessed that as well, but at this age, who knows for sure!
