Colors of baby Silkies

[ESofVA]

After the terrible experience trying to find Silkies, I finally have 8 babies. A man I had gotten chicks, other breeds, from before and knew I was looking, picked them up in PA as he was going up.
The person that had them said they were partridge, blues and splashes. I do not know how to tell the difference in chicks.
Can anyone tell me what color these are going to be? They may be too young and I am not EVEN going to ask sex!
Some may be too blurry , I got too close on that setting, but I had already returned the chicks to their box in the garage. I can get better ones if needed.



















TY for any help you may be able to give me.

I don't know much about silkies but I think #4 and #6 might be white. I only have two silkies that I traded to get and they both ended up be roosters!!!!

No whites in this batch.

1, 3, 4 look like partridges
6 splash
2,5,8 black
7 blue

Just guesses mind you...it's hard to see the exact color in the photos and sometimes what looks blue can be black and vice versa depending on breeding. I had a blue chick turn into the blackest rooster!

Does #5 have any stripping on the back and head? I can't tell if that is the angle of the camera or brown mixed in.

Can you tell a bearded chick from a non-bearded chick at this age??

 

[leadwolf1]

Yep, bearded chicks have big poofy cheeks

Most, if not all, of those chicks are bearded

I will go out and check on stripes but yes, that is brown on it's head and side of its face. I do remember a couple or more having back stripes.

OK...I was thinking that bearded was different from muffed? I was thinking muffed was sides of faces, bearded under chin like a beard!! LOL!!! Poofed is on the top of the head, bearded would be like EE's and my Faverolles...is that it for feathers around the face?? I need to get poofed, muffed, bearded all straight! LOL!!!!
