These are my moms 4 week old silkies. I've never raised silkies before… But I was expecting them to be fluffier. Is this normal feathering for a silkie?

They aren't pure silkies. They are probably first gen. Silkie crosses. Silkies grow out their fluffy feathers from birth
 
Thanks everyone, I thought that might be the case but since I've never raised them myself I wasn't sure...is it common for silkie crosses to be sold like this? They came from an assorted bantam mix at the feed store. Anyone guess what the cross might be? Whatever they are, they're pretty cute! :)
Thanks again!
