I bought these and was told they were silkies, but the farm had them labeled as "bantams" which I know silkies are bantams, but there is more than one type of bantam right? Silkies shouldn't be getting any normal feathers I thought. Any one?

It looks about like the feed store Silkies I've purchased. The wing feathers will look somewhat hard but be sort of shredded looking on the ends. This becomes more pronounced as they grow out.

Edited to add: After looking again a bit more closely, I am almost positive that what you have is a little Silkie. Give it a few more days and it will be obvious.
