Are these mixed silkie chicks? (pictures)

Hello I bought some new chicks from someone that said these weren't mixed silkies (or the very least they don't think they are) but one of them have odd (or normal?) feathering with barbicules that make me doubt the legitimacy. I'm not complaining as I didn't get them for breeding but I wanted to know if I got scammed ($20)

They said these 2 were probably 2 weeks old and weren't sure of the colours they are

Pictures below

Please let me know if these are silkies, mixed and if they are the correct age so I can get them on grower feed on the proper week

Can provide more photos if needed

I'd also guess 2 to 3 weeks old. No idea on what breed mix.
Are you saying you bought them as pure silkies? Or you bought them under the impression they had no silkie blood?
Idk how many chicks there is, 2? White one could be pure but normal feathered one surely isnt.

They said they were pure silkies and I bought them thinking they were, had some doubts. I think these 2 came from the same parents so if one is mixed then the other is too. That's a bit unfortunate, thank you for your input!
