Will my silkie chick become white?

[Kimschickens123]

I’m new to being a silkie mom and I got these two cuties yesterday and there both yellow but one if definitely lighter yellow. Not sure what color they will be. Will they both be white?

Could be. Could be splash, too. My splash was white as a chick.
That's her on the right (sorry for the messy brooder pic!).

Here she is now...

Gotta say, they are so darn adorable. I think that you could have a white and a splash but I'm not sure this early on. I don't have any silkies but I couldn't resist saying that they're adorable. Splash silkies are my favorite color for that breed

Welcome to BYC!
Cute chicks!


They both will end up white most likely. White chick down varies quite a bit from cream, yellow to grey to almost looking buff. There is a chance for splash though. The little flecks develop as they feather in. You should be able to tell in about a week when the wing feathers come in.

Thank you

You are quite welcome!
Just for fun photo of some of my recessive white chicks from a few years ago. Every one of these chicks feathered in completely white!
