If anyone would like to take a guess on what their colors are I would really appreciate it! Thanks!
 
1 definitely looks like our baby, who is 7 weeks old now, and she is turning out to be the palest blue/grey (you can only tell it's not white when she's up against our other white silkie), and she has splashes of buff. very pretty! so could be similar to that?

3 looks white, 4 looks like it could be that really pale blue/grey.

they are all so cute! i just love silkies!
 
1-5 are white.

My tan chick who feathered out white.
#5 a really dark blue that probably came out of hen who had a parent that was black. I imagine that chick will be very dark blue with brown undertones.
And the last ones are a nice blues.

They are really cute. Are they from your flock or did you buy hatching eggs?
 
Im not sure, but I want to know how #5 feathers out. I love the dark color looks to be a partridge. Im confused?!? blue/black/splash parent stock. Maybe the black parent has some partrige in there background.

5 looks black to me. I have black chicks that look like that... mine aren't show quality birds though so that may be the reason. I think the first 4 are white too and the last three are blues or splashes, leaning towards two light blues and one dark blule. What's that on #4's head? A big vaulted skull?!?!?
 
Yup! We had two or three vaulted skulls! #4 has one, and I think another one of the whites has one but I can't remember for sure and I can't tell from the pictures which it is, and I know one of the dark ones has a vaulted skull too... Hard to tell unless you see them in person. They are sooo cute, I had to drive back up to Alyssa's yesterday to take pictures of them fluffed up for all you lovely people XD bow down to my photographic skills!
