Well first it depends if u kept pure silkies and they breed then I'm 99 percent sure these are our and arnt mix if u think ur other chickens have bred with one of ur silkies then there sevrel stuff to tell if they r pure
I'm not sure about the blue/grey one but seeing the white count his total toes if they r 4 then he is mixed if they r 5 he pure

My chickens were given to me... So its quite possible they are mixed.

PS about the gender the only way Ik is that u wait until it grows and if it has weird skin on top (that's name I don't know ) that every roaster has he is a rooster
land if it STARTES to lay eggs it's a female
ask an expert these r te ways I know and try not to keep all different chicken in the same cage if u wanna prevent cross breeding and then mix breeds
becuz I got my silkies for about 70 dollars and 2 chicks that were mix silkies were only 10 bucks a pair so if they mix there price drops a lot if there pets and u don't mind them cross breeding then it's ok but if u have a shop of breeds better to prevent cross breeding
hope I helped

In the case that some one gave u them these things could help u identify there breed
-feathers of one colour is a sigh of pure breeds
-silkies have total 5 toes then other chickens only have 4
-silkie meat is blue not that u were so DESPRITE that u would be ready for a BBQ but yeah just a fact

How old are they?

 

[bamitsbrittany]

They are about 7 weeks old.

They are pets.. however I don't want babies just eggs.. so I don't want a rooster.. I don't personally care if they are mixed or not. lol Just interested. =]

Thanks.

COUNT THE TOES !!!!! tell me how many total toes are they then we can determine there breed

Well its a little early to tell but the white one looks rooish to me the other one looks like a pullet

They are definitely mixed but they are cute nonetheless
