What color are my Silkies?

I just acquired some lovely Silkies. I believe mama is blue, but what color are these babies turning out to be?

Blue

Thank-you! I thought maybe the chick in the first picture was splash since it had a light grey head and a black splotch on top. This one has no "spots" but it is exactly the same color.

What you are seeing is a mix of feathers and down. As the feathers come in, the colour will be blue, not a mix.

Thank-you!

Are these bearded silkie chicks? I can see that the hen is not, but not sure what bearded babies look like.
