Silkies - They’re simply SPECTACULAR!

I had two more chicks hatch this morning!

This is what they will live in for a few weeks. Does it look okay?

I ended up bringing them back inside. They'll probably stay in until at least one week since it's getting in the 40s at night.

Question: is there a thread here where you can see a chick and adult pic side by side of silkies so we can better understand the coloring from chick to adult?
Would LUV to see this across the world with silkies!
I have 3 blue, 1 black and 4 not sure...partridge maybe? I'm really curious as to how their colors cha ge through their growth as well as when you can start to see the satin vs standard progression.
If there isn't a thread already would this make for a good ongoing thread?

PuffPuff finally laid an egg yesterday! She’s in a pen with two Polish hens, but it looks like a Silkie egg!
