What color are these Silkie chicks?

okay thanks i'm new.

No worries! It’s just that very few people are likely to see this thread when people see the date from 2015 they are likely to pass it by.

Black and white parents will have Approx 50% Blue, 25% splash and 25% Black offspring, Blue and Splash parents have all blue offspring. Blue and white parents have Blue or Splash offspring.
To get Lavender, Black and Buff (Gold gene) Buff does not mix with Black, but rather dilutes black. That is why several generations after lavender isestablished, gold streaks begin to show up on rooster's necks and saddle feathers.

So if there is no possible way there are any gold genes in the rooster, this color is blue.
If there are any gold genes in the rooster, the lighter chicks may be Lavender.
Gold around neck and saddle indicate gold gene presence

Hello, I know this is old, but I'm hoping you can help me! I have this chick that I'm not sure what the colour is! The dad is 100% Buff, the mum is either Black, Buff or Splash! I thought as first the chick was Splash, but now I'm thinking it looks Blue or maybe even Lavender???
