Hi! I have some silkies and I’m trying to guess what color they will be as adults. Any ideas?

I agree! Her name is felicity and she couldn’t be cuter!Oh the second to last one is so cool looking
Thank you!! I’m so excited to watch them grow. They all seem very unique.I have limited experience with these colors as I mainly focus on paint silkie breeding but I am happy to help guess based on the experience I do have.
#1 and #3 are hard for me to guess. They don't have the classic chipmunk partridge look but they may mature to look somewhat partridge like. #3 could also possibly be a smutty buff but I don't have much experience with buff so a bit hard to say (the lighter skin color is something I believe can pop up more in buffs). I had a chick that looked a bit like #1 who's siblings were partridge but she turned out blue with a hint of a chocolate like color on the ends of her feathers (probably a result of mixing colors in my girls case)
#2 and #4 look like they will both be blue to me. #4 is a little light but blue can vary quite a bit in shade and she/he doesn't look quite light enough to be splash to me.
#5 looks like a white to me (could also be splash but the down better matches more the recessive white silkie chicks I've seen).
Adorable chicks, I bet it will be lots of fun watching them grow and seeing how their colors develop!
