Any idea what breed these dudes are?

We got them at Rural King who I think gets their chick's from Hoovers. The first 2 pictures are the chick's in question. The last pic is the 2 unknown with 4 sapphire gems.

I'm not positive, but I'm thinking they are lakenvelders or silver laced Orpingtons. Nothing else on Hoover's list seems to match.

They do look like them. Thanks!

Okay, the sapphire jems are already outgrowing the 2 little guys. I'm guessing they are a smaller breed. Orpingtons seem too big. Do you think they look like silver laced wyandottes?

The laced Wyandotte varieties usually have what I think of as football paint on their faces and back stripes. Since they do not they are most likely either a Silver Lakenvelder or Silver English Orpington. If they continue to be on the smaller size then they are probably the first. I think they flip colors, the head, and tail are black with the primaries/outer wing feathers are edged in black.
