Here is the other one

It looks like a silkie mix... maybe crossed with a cochin?

silkie/cochin cross. Silkies have black skin, but it looks like only one of your girls got it. If you look at their feet, they will likely have an extra toe(5 toes) as well. The silkied gene is recessive, so when you cross one to a none silkies, all the chicks have normal feathering, and will carry the silkied gene. If you where to breed them with a silkie rooster, you should get a few silkied chicks (about 50%).

I have Faverolles x Silkie crosses. Some have black skin, others have light, and some have both. I have kept 6 so far (3 almost a clean white with blue and 3 black with black spangled breasts) but may have to let 2 go as I think I have 4 roos in there. They look like yours otherwise. So...I think they are Silkie crosses. Not sure what they are crossed with, could almost be anything but I am also wondering if the cross iis with a Cochin as I know a lot of people have been ding that one.
