They look like Partridge Plymouth Rocks to me.

That is what i though originally but someone else told me different

ChickenLover200: Your chickens appear to be Partridge Rocks. Very nice looking ones, too.

Chickenlover200, I have a question about egg-bound hens. If you're feeling the duck to see if it has a bound egg, where would you feel it???

 

[ChickenLover200]

I'm not exactly sure... most likely it would be if your hen is egg bound then the egg would be under the vent... you could try feeling there... don't rub it roughly if there is an egg you don't want to crush... it someone else may have some more info for you and will tell you how to cure an egg bound hen
Hope that helps

Well, at least going by the photos, your Silkie rooster could be show-quality. However, you hen is not--she needs more leg/foot feathering and a larger crest.
