Hi! I am having trouble identifying these 1-week old chicks. I have four of them. They are all black (except a touch of yellow on the face) with grey wings. The wings have black and white markings. And they have grey feathers (with the same black & white markings) on the feet. I assume they have to be either marans, cochins, or dark brahmas. But they are entirely black--no yellowing on the belly--which does not match any of the chick photos I am seeing online for these breeds. They also are not black silkies in that they only have four toes. What do you think they are? Thank you!

I think a jersey giant or croad. (1st image jersey and 2nd croad for comparison.)

It appears to be a Silver Laced Cochin. Does it have a single comb? :)
That’s a great guess. I was thinking SL Cochin or Barred Cochin. Here they are at 5 weeks old. I’m still not sure! Any predictions with these updated photos?

The necks definitely look like Silver laced Cochins.
