This little sweetheart hatched on Monday during a power outage. I have three pure white Silkies - 2 hens, 1 roo. The Silkies are in a coop with other breeds as well, some standard, some bantam. I thought this was going to be a SIlkie cross but it still looks pure Silkie. Any idea what to call this colour? Dun? Would a Silkie cross hatch looking like a Silkie and then develop the characteristics of the other breed? One of my Silkie hens has adopted it and the little white one that hatched too!

I think it might mature to white. Last spring I hatched one like that for a friend (white parents). It turned white as it matured?

Here are some other picks of it. It is getting more gold highlights. I am wondering if my Speckled Sussex rooster and my Silkie hen had a fling. Shocked

In this one you can see the little yellow one that will grow into a white Silkie and then the contrast with the dark one. Fluffy adopted these two chicks. She's such a great Mom!
