Wow this will be good practice for answering in between comments. If I mess up, sorry!

If the black ones are related to the white ones especially if they are full siblings, I would keep the idea they may be leghorn crosses, in particular a California white leghorn. California whites are a cross between white leghorn and California gray leghorn so they are not pure for dominant...

Up to you and OP.... there are several others well versed in genetics who regularly go over the breeds/genetics section.

Solid black is a problem in silkies- have to actively breed against color leaking on necks. This problem is made worse by the fact the males will show the leakage while their genetically identical sisters seem solid black.. so if you breed those girls, they will throw leaky sons.... tricky...

Haha!!! No not complex at all. Buff laced are gold laceds with dominant white added*. That's it. Must be the shortest answer I've ever given! The reason the crosses are mostly white is because black is dominant so what you did was a black chicken bred with a colored chicken. Normally...

Hey those sure do look identical to the OP's birds! I'm surprised the crests aren't fuller in all birds as that's crested to crested breeding. So the OP's birds could be Polish Silkie crosses instead of leghorn. Yes it's dominant white I was thinking of with the white leghorn comments- if...

Hard to sex from those pictures, sorry. At this age the boys should have plenty of shiny and pointy tipped feathers on the back by tail, neck and in crest. In the last picture, it kind of seems the closer one might be a boy(seems to have the rooster sickle tail feathers by the tail) and the...

If you breed them together, and get Paint patterned birds(mostly white with black patches), then paint silkie cross would be right answer. If most are like this with some being solid white and some with no white then it's probably leghorn cross. eye catching birds, whatever they are exactly. :)

Suspect silkie crossed with leghorn only because leghorns are very common and that coloring is very typical of white leghorn crossed with a colored chicken.
