I've got 5 two day old silkie chicks and i was wondering if anyone can tell me what colour they're going to be. Mum's a pure white silkie and dad's also a pure white silkie. I know the grandparents were also pure but i don't know what colour they were. Any ideas on what colour they'll each be would be greatly appreciated :)

Chick 1 - I assume this bright yellow one is going to be white. It has black feet/comb area




Chick 2 - also assume this one will be white, but this one has pinkish feet/comb area


Chick 3 - This one seems to have a brownish tinge to it, especially around wing area & a darker head??



Chick 4 - Despite the photo quality this one is significantly darker than the bright yellow ones. It's body is darker & it has a lighter (yellow) head. Almost looks like it has grey splashed through it lightly.


Chick 5 - This one is also darker with a yellow head.




I've thrown in a photo of dad too :) and mum's just a regular looking whits silkie hen.


Thanks :D
 
I am new to the Silkie world but from what I've read and heard these chicks should all turn out to be white, but I'm still not totally sure. I guess chicks with yellowing or light cream brown can still feather out to be white. I'm sorry if I wasn't much help lol good luck with your super cute babies:}
