I have eight bantam chicks. Five are clearly silkies and I've resigned myself to waiting on them to figure out who's who. However, the other three chicks are an all around mystery. The woman I purchased the eggs from breeds silkies, old english game birds, and mille fleur d'uccles. These three birds all have ten toes, but not a silkie coat. And now they look like they're developing crests?!
Any help on what to call them and whether they're pullets or cockerels would be helpful.
I've called them A (the one with brown/buff and gray), B (black with a white chest), an C (black with a black chest).
Apologies for mama and all of the fluffy siblings photobombing.

They look like they are half silkies and I'd say Bird B is a boy as he has bright red wattles sprouting there. Being half silkie they may take longer to show what they are but for now the other two are looking like girls to me.
I'm not allowed to keep roosters in town, so I've been trying not to get too attached.
