Breed???

I got this pullet along with 5 others a few weeks ago. They were all supposed to be Starlight Eggers (2 light, 2 medium brown, 2 dark brown) although I thought only the light ones are, I still bought them (all were 2$ each). The medium colored are regular Easter Eggers or Olive Eggers. Then I noticed after bringing them home, that 2 were actually black, not dark brown and they had feathered feet.

Now I'm trying to figure out which breed they are. I just know they're not a bantam breed due to size.

I'm not really good at figuring chick breeds out. Thanks for your help.
Do you still have this one?
 
Here's a few as to how they look now. My older cinnamon queen I got from Rural King 1st was found dead the next day, 17 hours after I moved them into their own 4'×8' coop. It seems she was jumping around testing her wings and possibly struck her head on the roost or roof rafter based on her extended wings and legs, like she was flying.

This young man is the same one in the next photo. Huge transformation of colors. He still has the whitish gray feathers under his beak. He started crowing around 7-8 weeks old.

These are the 2 smallest, they're both Silkie Eggers. White one is a female, black one I think is too, just not 100% sure yet.

Nice green sheen in bright light, not cooperative enough to see the face - looked down as I snapped photo. This one has a little attitude at times.

Wow, that really is a huge transformation! I recently sold an EE cockerel with a lot of red on him. Now I wonder if his will stay or not. I couldn't keep so many males, sadly.

I'm really sorry about your baby you lost. 😔 You've got a beautiful flock, though!

Thank you. They're just 9 of my 46 chickens, plus 26 ducks and 7 guineas. Currently between my different pens, I have at least 6 known roosters - on the fence with the black silkie looking one. Ragtop is often in the coop with my Jersey Giant and blue splash Brahma at night, they accepted him in their coop in just 2 nights. The other cockerel, Cam, is in a different coop and pen. I only have 2 Silkie roosters, but have 9 Egger hens, so they may be brothers.
