Does this bantam hen look like a cross bred?

We bought this tiny mama along with her 6 chicks at an Amish auction. Someone mentioned s she was a Seabrite, but the pictures I found don't look anything like her. Her chicks have a lot of variety too, so I'm guessing they are crossed with something, and she possibly is too. Has anyone had any that look similar to her or her chicks?
The last picture is her chicks at around 8 weeks, except the two larger yellow ones in the back, they're not hers.

Edit to add: She lays light tan eggs.

Like the other person sai, Silkie Mix
 
Many of the silkie traits are dominant. For example, black skin and extra toes. Assuming she is a silkie mix, she’s at least two generations from a pure silkie.
It is possible that she has sebright in her. While her rounder body and single comb make it less obvious, her tail looks a lot like a sebright’s. Not saying she definitely is part sebright, just that she could be.

Thanks, that's great info! Her and some of her chicks do have dark legs, but no extra toes that we've noticed.
