Could Anyone Tell Me What Breed These Roos Are?

So...I have two roosters, and I think one of them might be an Easter Egger, and the other a Silkie, but I'm not sure. Here are pictures of them...



Jordan, the suspected Easter Egger...



And Snowflake, the suspected Silkie.

If anyone could help me out, I'd really appreciate it! Thanks!
 
Your silkie is a silkie. Personally, I don't think the larger roo is especially an easter egger, I think he's a barnyard mix. That funky comb looks like one parent was straight combed and one was maybe rose combed.

He's an Easter Egger. Tall, floppy, modified, folded combs are common with EE's. I once had one, straight from the hatchery stock, who had pretty much a single comb with little sprigs here and there on the side. His color though could only be reproduced with outcrossing if he were from a silver EE x Welsummer, which even then would require yellow legs on him, which, though hard to tell, appear to be green from here.
 
Thanks for your help, guys!
And he has yellowish-orange legs, I think... I've never looked too close to his legs. X3
 


Here is Butters, my 1/2 Brahma/1/2 red sex link Roo. I would call his color a cream coumbian with red bleed (looks whiter in the uploaded photos than in real life), not far aff from your dude. Mine has partially feathered legs so I am thinking yours may be some other columbian patterend bird like maybe a Columbian Wyandotte crossed with a bird that is brown/red, maybe even a sexlink like Butter's mom.
