Thank you!! We think we have a partridge, black, blue and white one. I’m predicting that the black and white one are girls. The blue one I’m not sure and the partridge I think is a boy. But they are silkies so who really knows lol

Yes I did get lucky!! I saw a post on my states chicken Facebook page and the lady breeds all sorts of colors so I asked her to save one of each for me! Only had to drive 40 minutes

Here are my babies! They're 5 weeks old tomorrow! First time hatching eggs got 18 eggs for $15?! Only 10 hatched, 8 weren't fertile.. but it was also the dead of winter. It's crazy how none of them look alike. We have: a gold, a splash, a blue, a blue frizzle, a black/grey underneath, a full black, a black show girl, a white show girl, a white frizzle showgirl, and a partridge satin showgirl! We sadly lost my white hen a while back but anither

Scooter and Blondie (roos I think)

Dusty (roo) and Gracie

Melvin and Midnight

Marilyn and Monroe (frizzle roo)

Rufus(named before she hatched, I have a her whole incubation period on camera)

And finally Darla.
Sorry for the total over load. I love these guys a little too much!

Sooooo adorable! I love how they all look different! What a fun surprise. I think thats a great price for 10 silkie chicks too! I paid $7 for my four so already $28. How did you determine if they are boys/girls? I know silkies can be so hard to sex. Mine I have been guessing by how fast they are feathering in. I also heard of this farmers trick where you hold the hatchling on its back and if it legs tuck in its a girl and if they don't you "give it back" Haha (as in to the seller)! However, so far the ones whose legs tucked in have the fastest feather growth, so he could be on to something!
