April, those salmon silkies are the most beautiful color. I can't wait to see one in real life, I bet they are more amazing in person!

So I'm back..With more questions, lol. I have two Silkie chicks (about..9 weeks old? Maybe a bit older) that I'm not sure about their colors. I'll describe them a bit and also provide pictures.

Chick #1
Up until a week or two ago he was an overall White/off white color, except for right behind his head and on his neck a little. That part was always darker, more of a very light Buff or just a very creamy color. Now he's getting these red "spots" on his back and in his wings. His neck/behind his head is still a darker color than the rest of him.








Chick #2
She has always been (since I got her at 4-6 weeks old) a Lavender color all over (or very light Blue..I've never seen a Lavender Silkie in real life) with a tinge of Tan/Buff color on like the tips of her feathers, sort've. Her crest and neck is also much darker than the rest of her.







Any guesses on what color my little babies are? I'm hoping they're a pair, or at least that chick #2 is a girl.

Chick #2 almost looks like it might be a Pastel.

Wow, they are so similar...

That pic was a few months ago. The pullet has filled out more & they are exactly alike. This is my goal color for the future. I really want to make a bunch more of these, LOVE this color!

I am totally new to chicks (well 1 month in) I have one silkie Sunny she is approx 5 weeks old. The breeder said she would be black,,,but I am thinking no. It is weird though because I saw all of his adult silkies and they were all solid colors...and thoughts
