Any idea what breed these are?

Someone dropped (assuming) six chickens at the end of our dead end road last night. I live in a semi rural/agricultural area. I’ve never seen chickens with such dark combs and waddles, their feet are feathered and also black, feathers appear quite silky. There are five white ones like this and a protector roo who looks like a beautiful dark hybrid. They appear young and healthy. Any ideas?

And I think both pictured are males

Any ideas?

I would venture a guess at them all being cockerels/roosters and the primary reason for being dumped.

I agree Silkies.

Other dark skinned birds are Ayam Cemani and Svart Hona.

Thats pretty sad. I’ve never had issues with re-homing Roos before in our area. Always someone looking for Roos around here. I was thinking a couple of the white ones were getting tail feathers, but a couple might be pullets. (I didn’t post all the pictures I took) Thanks

All of the ones in this picture look male.
