Silkie Chick Colors - 10 Days Old

[jaemvee]

Hi everyone! Thanks for your help. This is my first time hatching silkie chicks and wanted some guesses on adult colors. I have some idea but am curious on what you all think! These guys hatched 01/28/21 and are 10 days old in these photos.
You’re the best! Happy guessing

Do you know what color the parents are of this lovely group? I see a few white and maybe a black, I believe, and what possibly might turn out to be a blue or grey, but there's a few there that l'm curious about myself! I can't quite tell if the darker patches on the wings are just dark skin and new feather shafts showing through or actually dark feathers on #4. Chick #2 is a stunning little dust bunny!

The gal I got the eggs from has nearly every color silkie! To me they look like #1,#4,#7 splash, #2 self blue/lavender, #6 blue, #5 is definitely black, #3 I’m unsure of-he has lavender/grey colored wings coming in but now I’m seeing some dark bits, and #8 is a really dark grey but lighter than #5. So fun! I’ll keep it updated as they get older

Silkie Chick #4 is looking like a paint? What do you think?! Fingers crossed

I'm terrible at figuring out paint vs splash.... but do you have any updated pics of the rest? I went and picked up 4 that look quite a bit like a few of yours! Ive got one that falls between chicks #4 & #6 in colour, and another that looks like #2 and one that looks like #7. I guess I must have had chick envy!

I’m fairly certain my chicks #1 and #7 are blue splash. They look completely different than #4 to me - who is more white with large black spots. It’s so hard to tell!
