What are they? From the feed store- "Bantam Assortment"

I got some new chicks from the feed store. I was crossing my fingers for some silkies- and MAYBE a polish.

Please let me know what you guys think if you need closer pics, let me know!

#1- I have two like this, both slightly different colors though.

#2- I really thought this was a black silkie. Yup- doubting that now.

#3 Someone PLEASE confirm my suspicion... Is this a polish

#4 Blue silkie- please

#5 white silkie?

#6 No clue here- but they're CUTE!!

#7 another white silkie?

#8 this looks like a silkie... A buff maybe?

Looking at the feet would help differentiate between the silkie and cochins.

Here's a list of your possible choices.

Yay!!! Happy dance!! How can you tell? What's the difference between them and Cochin feet?

 

[CliffB]

A cochin typically has 4 toes but are a common breed to have the 5 toe mutation. The black skin and 5 toes is typically a silkie.

So would a Cochin be more apt to have yellow feet and 4 toes?
