This is my first time raising non-partridge silkies from chicks and I’m hoping someone can help confirm what colours I think they’ll feather out as.
5 of the 9 below came from eggs hatched from a BBS (plus paint) pen. The other 4 I got from a breeder with separate pens, but she hatched all together so no confirmation on which of her pens they could be from.
The first 3 are easy - these little black chicks - but the others I’m not sure of…
These 4 started light grey and are all getting some darker grey (maybe black?) streaks in their wing feathers - to varying degrees. Are these littles going to be splash?
And these last two appear to both be feathering out bright white in their wings. Would this be a case of a yellow-based white and a silver-based white? The breeder also said lavender was possible based on her pens, but I know nothing about lavender, especially at this age.
I’ll also add that the colours don’t matter to me…I’m just an impatient chicken mom waiting to see what they’ll look like lol.
