Do you know if the rooster was black? Because a black rooster over a barred hen will create sex linked chicks. All females will be black and look exactly like your chick. You could always call and ask the person you got them from. If it's a barred rooster over a black hen tho it will be random which ones are black and barred.

Well I believe it does, as well now that I've looked up some chick photos but this came from a backyard mix flock. I'm at least hoping for a hen.

Truth!! My EE Lady and Sicilian Buttercup are the most assertive in my mixed flock while my dual purpose girls are the calmest. And 1 of my TBW(which is a blue egg layer with leghorn added for egg production) follows me everywhere while the other two are the most skittish girls in the flock. So much fun how they all have their own individual personalities. My two other Easter eggers are both calm and tentative but not on the bottom of the pecking order. The two TBW other than the one that follows me are at the bottom along with the bantams.

I could be wrong but I don't think they are that mean I just think you have the wrong flock dynamics. You have an amazing setup for a few pet chickens. I just think some breeds need more room. I don't think that means they are mean per say. I've heard of chickens being canibals in a coop that's to small. I think that was more the problem. Plenty of room yard wise but at night probably needing more space. I think silkies or faverolles are known for being at the bottom of the pecking order because they are at a disadvantage. If they weren't they would act the same as the other chickens. I don't think you can pen every chicken as being I'll tempered though. Mine is fine in a mixed flock even with bantams. My friend has about 10 in a mixed flock and also no problems. That's what leads me it was more environment.
