Silky chick to chicken

[preciouschick]

I would love for you silky lovers to post pictures of your chicks and then when they turned into a chicken. Its so I and other curious people can see what color variations are out there. How their colors develop and change. Thank you!

This is Sunny when she was a chick.

Sunny around the time she started laying (I couldn’t find any full body photos of her around this time).

Sunny now.

She’s been broody for the past 2 months so I don’t have many recent photos of her.

This is Fancy Nancy. I believe I have a picture of her in the incubator right after she hatched, but I'll have to dig for that. She is such a sweetheart. Her "sister" is a LF Cochin/Turken mix. They're inseparable. It's pretty cute because Fancy Nancy is little and Victoria, her "sister", is so big.
I don't have as many hatch/chick pictures of my other Silkies because I purchased them from TSC. Fancy Nancy was an "only" chick, so I spent a lot of time with her and took a lot of pictures, before I was able to purchase Victoria from a nearby farm.
Not much to see here as far as colors go. My apologies

Please pardon the dirty floor. The birds had been dust bathing and came inside to shake off
