Help identifying young chicks

The 2nd is not a silkie, the ones in the 3rd picture are. They will probably get more feathers on their legs as they grow. Hatchery silkies are not always the best quality, light foot feathering is a side effect.

ok, so if the chicks in the third pictures have hair-like wing feathers that is a good sign they are silkies.

if they have 5 TOES (one is very small so you might have to look hard) then they are silkies!!
