Help me figure out the breed

My cockerel and my little golden hen don't have 5 toes but there is a chance that they were crossed with a silver lace wyandotte and a white silkie rooster. I have no idea. They were just freebies and who doesn't want free chooks? Thanks for your help :) The young cockerel certainly gets up to mischief with my little golden pullet. We have a big tree in the middle of the pen and they like to roost in it at night.



This is a pic of my cockerel, Charlie, getting in a fight with my 3 yr old Sussex hen, Mayvis. The hen won obviously. hehe
I love this picture! And it's a great illustration for raising cockerels with older, mature hens who make them earn their mating. I'm pretty sure he isn't getting on top of her until she decides she's good and ready

He is only 5 months but the hens bash him about. My 3 yr old Sussex rooster hasn't bashed him yet. I am waiting for it though.
