Does anyone know what breed this is?

I have only raised jersey giants and silkies so I don't know many more breeds. I ordered 6 silkie eggs on the internet and when they hatched two of the were not silkies. I don't know if these are mixed with silkies or are some other breed. This one pictured I do believe is a rooster and the other one looks like a hen. They are a little over 3 months old. They also have 5 toes. My silkies do not.

He is a silky crossbred. Somebody sneaked into that silky brood pen.

Silkies SHOULD have 5 toes.

Considering the feathered shanks, the crest and the 5 toes, I'd say this bird is a silkie mix. I'm leaning Cochin on the mix, but it could be almost anything. Does the pullet have darker skin?

Thank you so much. I still can't get over them having 5 toes. LOL

I haven't checked but her wattles aren't showing yet and she is a lot smaller.

I'm just curious, as I think I've read that the dark skin is sex linked--the pullets should be darker skinned on crosses.

Looks like a Silkie mix to me.
