Okay, so this might sound a bit ridiculous, but I asked for the color of my white with brownish chick and a woman said she has one just like that, but it started to get black feathers and turned paint. I didn't believe mine would be paint, but today I saw a paint rooster for sale online and he looked yellowish-browney, so I thought maybe my whiteish-brown chick still has hope?

My chick:
(3 weeks old. Sorry about the bad lighting)

I'm a bit confused. Today I took a look at Cloud and noticed a singe black feather in his wing. There's also a Beige looking feather in his neck that has a black stripe going through it. I tried to draw the black striped feather from memory. I'll post pictures of him tomorrow when he'll turn 4 weeks old. The picture I took is kinda bad bc my camera couldn't pick up the black feather.

Will these black feathers fall out when he molts or will he continue to grow more black feathers?

I read that splash silkies get their darker spots around 4 weeks old. So I started thinking mine could be splash, but the white with beige base color is throwing me off.

Sorry I'm new to silkie genetics.
(Also I found out the rooster in the pictures isn't paint, but is splash apparently)
 
Here are more pictures. I'm interested to see what this little guy will look like grown up. They say silkies really like to keep you guessing.
