“True” silkies or silky mixes

[Nitralw]

I have two chicks that are growing at a rate of almost double they’re other brooder mate. Their feathers also aren’t as fluffy and instead of five toes they have four. I know they can still be true silkies with only four toes. It doesn’t matter either way, just curious to what everyone’s best guess is

I'm not sure but they look well let's just say interesting

Those do not look like silkies or silkie mixes. They don't appear to have any silkie traits, they don't even appear to be bantams. I'm not sure what they are, cute though.

I agree with 2 many chickens, they definitely do not look like silkies and likely aren't silkie mixes either. Very cute though!

All the other chicks are 5 toed except these two. They all started about the same rate but these two are almost twice as big as all the others now. I’m not sure what they are either. Guess we’ll see once they’re a little older

I'm not very good with Silkies, but those don't really look like any I've ever seen.
They're seriously adorable though!

Thank you! They really are adorable and have such little personalities. I don’t think they’re bantams as they’re already pretty big compared to the others

Yes, please update as they grow. We love watching babies grow up!

I see no Silkie traits in those chicks. They look like black Australorp chicks.
Only the blond one in the brooder is a Silkie as I can see.

Aye they really don't look like bantams to me either, hopefully you'll be able to get a better idea as they grow! A lot of chicks that will end up black as adults are that color, those little cuties kind of remind me of black australorps or black jersey giant chicks. I don't have enough experience with anything but silkies to be able to guess very well though!
