I have 5 little silkies... I'm pretty sure I have some of them figured out, but I'm not 100% on the others.
Could I get a little help?
The first chick is a little less than 4weeks, hatched approx October 5-6 when that hurricane was beating up florida.
The others are all approx 2 weeks older, so around 6weeks.
I picked these guys up in Pensacola when I was up there avoiding the hurricane. I had been looking for partridge locally for a while and just hadn't found any. They were sold as 3 partridge, 2 splash.

I'm loading 3 pics of each chick, I tried to get clear pics from different angles with a good background... it was harder than I thought. LOL

3-4week chick, Pepsi. I'm
I'm pretty sure this is the partridge chick I was looking for. Standard chipmunk as a day old, is getting brown feathers in.

Chick 2 and 3, Pip and Peep.
These two are approx 6 weeks. At two weeks they did look chipmunky, but no brown.
So, Blue Partridge? Or Silver?

Chick 4, Shoe.
Sold as splash, I'm pretty positive that's what HE(?) is.

Chick 5, Loulou...
Now this one is the real oddball of my bunch. Sold as 'splash', but as a chick was yellowish, with a silvery gray base and a bit of gray chipmunk striping.
The yellowish tone is still a little visible around the eye area.
So... my best guess is cuckoo??? The feathering is coming in barred. but it's so dilute. Blue cuckoo?

Can anyone tell me what color this cockerel is? I got him as a day old along with a blue Showgirl. I was hoping he was black, but now as he matures he's getting more and more silver leakage throughout. Is he just a crappy black, or something else? I'd planned to rehome him, but now I've grown fond of him.

He's impossible to get a decent picture of!

Nugget is about 5-6 months old now. This is my first Silkie and I need your help. Pullet or Cockerel?
Also what color would you consider Nugget to be? Thanks in advance

Nugget is a light partridge. I'm leaning toward roo but not at all certain.
