We got 3 silkies from Ideal with our order. They are the boys' pet chicks. They wanted blue silkies, but those were sold out and Mom subsituted grey silkies. I thought close enough. These are just pets and hopefully broodies. They all looked the same as little chicks but now that they are feathering out we have a strange one. Let me know what someone, anyone thinks this color is supposed to be.
This is the little strange one we are unsure about.

This is what the other 2 look like, grey.

top one is partridge, the lower blue? with the partridge you can sex them a little earlier the girls get strippy, were the boys have a more solid color

These birds are way too young to sex, and until the birds are several months old, the tail of the males and females are indistinguishable, with few exceptions.
 
I was just wondering on the color of that 1st one. It looks so diffrent than the other greys we ordered. I am pretty sure one of the silkies is a roo. It is challenging all the RIR roos. He gives them a run for their money.

Do you think it is a pullet? It is only 5 weeks old. But it is much smaller than the others and in real life her wings almost look barred.
