This little chick that I hatched was suppose to come from an all white stock? Wonder what color it is? hes only 24 hours old.

Maybe a silver gene white.

One of my blue silkie chicks was that same color, and it's a beautiful light blue now!

It's the one on the right:

OMG! I would love to have a blue, is that possible from white parents?

 

[mollya06]

Good question...I have no idea if it's even possible for them to have a blue! We must find out!

 

[janieschicks]
