mdbucks is right. You have to know their background, genetic line to make them a breed. They would have to be breed true for generations. As for now, you would just be naming a mutt....

....not that there is anything wrong with mutts!

dont let the fact that they are not an approved breed stop you from liking them, some of the best chickens are mutts, and unless you are planning to show enjoy them

Trust me, I love them!!!! I might try and show them anyway at a fair or something.

Our fair had a open breed/not to standards, so you could show if you want, probably dont stand much chance of best in show but you should know that a purebred will win that.
 
Bingo! I suspected a Silkie cross but neverthanless, I have to agree with some of the folks here....you can name it anything and keep breeding for several generations. Nice looking birds tho! Just like the new breed, Showgirls.....

I think that old man was pulling your leg.......

Well he pulled pretty hard. He didn't look like he was joking, he is like 75years old and he loves me. I hated to leave him there by himself all the time but I live an hour away. Anyways my point is I don't think he was joking.
 
You know, I'm going to have to say those are silkie crosses. Everything about that face looks like one. The old man might not be joking in that he probably doesn't know any better. Old age brings wisdom but it also brings old ways. He can fully believe it himself but doesn't mean he knows it might not be true. Like a labradoodle... it may look cool but not really anything that will breed true. Only way to tell is to try to hatch eggs from the pair and grow up the kids to see what they look like. Since the two look so similar though... they are probably siblings. Thus, your hatch rates might not be that good as you'll have some inbreeding gong on. Sorry but you can try to breed them for yourself fist.
 
I would have to agree with Silkiechicken....not only his face tells it all but his feathers too!
