2 of these colored chicks hatched today. One is a little odder color then the other it was hard to get pics momma is being very protective.

Now all my colors were in seperated pens by colors this is what I have.

White/white
Black/black
gray/gray

Now I rule out the white because one white hen just hatched chicks and the other was sitting on these eggs so not from the white. So could it be gray??

Thinking back I think I have hatched a few like this before also. I need to track back the homes they went to and see how they are feathering in...

I just looked at the pictures and they are a whole different colors...Hmmm

Ones I hatched before

Looks to be either a silver gene white or a blue. There is glare on the photo so I can't tell how dark/light the colour is. I don't see the chipmunk markings indicative of a grey on any of the birds. In the previous chick photo, the one at the very back where you can only see the head does look like it might be patterned. But the rest look like blues.
 
I will get better pictures this evening...and no none have hatched out with the normal chipmunk markings of a gray silkie chick. Which has boggled me.
