What's wrong with their feathers?

[CatKai]

Now, wondering how long before I can tell if any of them are Silkied?

I think I have 2 or 3 black, the rest are blue or splash. One, is a possible mauve and that last chick that hatched late last night was gummy looking so it got a bath and back to the incubator to fluff and dry. I'll have photo's by tonight or tomorrow at latest.

If there are no chocolates in this batch, my large fowl chocolate hens that are the same breeding as the chocolate's in the project going on here are the same, Orp/Ameraucana from Jean's lines at the Ameraucana Club. And, my hens are clean faced and lay good blue eggs so I can make all the chocolate split's I need. If anyone is hatching clean faced and wanting some with muffs/beard, I have some and will be swapping with EdenCamp first, we can swap them much younger since they won't have to be shipped. All I really need is a black Silkied, clean faced cockerel or pullet and I think one of the black chicks hatched is clean faced...... If I get "really" lucky, one of the blacks will be silkied and clean faced and split for chocolate.

Looks like I have splash, blue and black. The splashes are definitely cheeky lil guys, SO cute!
Here are a few pictures then I'll wait to take more next weekend when I'll be able to identify the silkied ones.
