I was thinking that maybe one of them was a self blue. The person I got these from had lavenders and self blues.
 
The pics are kindda small, so its hard to see but I think chick 1 might be splash, chick 2 partridge, chick 3 black or blue-ish, chick 4 buff or white. Of course, these are just all guesses

Maybe some larger pics would help??? Or maybe wait until they're feathered out a little more???

Agreed.

Although the last chick looks a lot how my silkie chick looked like when he/she was younger. I think he/she is turning lavender? Something like that.

I hope so too. He/she has a purple-ish tint. It's really pretty. It also has a single comb.... so it might be part cochin or something.

So... I don't know lol.

But when I saw the last picture I thought "hey that's Rambo!" (my chicky). Yellowish on the body but darker on the neck.


Good luck finding out!​

Lavender IS self-blue. There is one person who sells silkies and is bound and determined that they are not the same. This is incorrect.

Outside the US, self-blue is the term used for non-laced blues.
