Bought some Bantams at Tractor Supply, 3 of them are Silkies, but I can't figure out what the 4th chick is.

How do you know there selkie. cause if it is because of the fluffy feet then they aren't selkies. I have 2 bantams chicks right now

It is evident by looking at the pics the other chicks are silkie. Black skin, vaulted skull with crest, and additional toes.

I've not personally raised Dark Brahma Bantams, but that is what it looks like, especially if it doesn't have a single comb. I can't tell from the first two pictures you posted.

I like sharing updates of how they are growing so that people in searching later on can see how the whole process of them growing has been. Here they all are at 7 weeks old, with a focus on the Dark Brahma cockerel because he is my favorite, but the silkies are cute too and I just love 'em all.

Here's some more updates at 10 weeks. I had the white silkies dna tested and the results are that they are both females! I didn't get the grey one tested, so I'm still a bit unsure about it. The only ones that still seem to square up are the brahma and the grey silkie, which has me worried Grey is also a male.

I have some more updates at 14 weeks, I had to rehome the grey silkie because he or she was showing signs of aggression on the white silkies after I gave their crests and beard a trim that just did not stop even after some time in chicken jail. The trim was needed for sure because they were starting to run into things as if they couldn't see it, and I think I cut one of them a bit shorter than I would've like, but at least it's easier to tell them apart now. The Dark Brahma is growing beautifully and I really like how his saddle feathers are starting to come in.
