What color is this chick AND what do lavender silkie chicks look like? :)

[CaramelKittey]

Lavender (Self blue) can only be made from crossing two Lavenders together, or with black split to lavender birds. If you are getting chicks from a mixed color pen, it is unlikely they will be true lavenders.
Splash colored chicks can also look lavender at hatch and then develop their splashes later as they grow. Self blue will be a very soft silvery white at hatch.
Congratulations on your new babies!

Thank you! The chicks are pure lavenders. She just put different pure-color Silkie eggs in the same incubator. She sent a video and I saw that some of the chicks were soft silvery white. Thank you so much! The chick pictured in the original post did look lavender at birth, but doesn't look lavender anymore. Thank you!

We went for 2 lavenders, but they didn’t have 2 lavenders so we came home with 6 different colors.
3 buffs, 1 that could be black, cuckoo, or maybe blue, 1 partridge, and 1 lavender or splash. Love them all. They are all bearded showgirls.

Chicken math strikes again! I went for two silkies, came home with 4, two of whom were roos but i'm thinking they might end up staying still...
