I recently rescued a set of Silkies. When we picked them up there was also a Rhode Island Red hen and 2 black chicks we aren't sure what they are. I'm fairly sure one is a Black Frizzle and the other could be a Swedish Black. But still we aren't sure. The solid black one looks to have a lighter color on the bottom of the face but it must just be lighting because it truly is solid black. Eyes,beak, feet, everything solid black.

The bantam Cochin is a cockerel. The other is a pullet. Can't speak on breed from that photo though. I'd trust @Rhodebar Lover.
I could totally be wrong on second breed. It just looked blue and those are the most common and body type matched 😳
 
I see a blue pullet and a black cockerel. Cockerel looks to be a Frizzled Cochin Bantam and it's very hard to tell in the other's pictures, but likely Production Blue or Sapphire Gem
Thank you for the input! I was pretty sure about the Frizzle, but I'll look up the ones you've mentioned. If I can get a better pick tomorrow I'll post! I'm really new and plane to raise the chicks to donate to to local kids that may not be able to afford show birds. Since we've inherited these little darlings we wanna support local FFA and 4H.

I looked up both suggestions for the pullet and they both have red cones and color around their faces. This lil pullet is solid black. I'll get a better pic tomorrow. But her eyes, all skin around her face, beak and feet are solid dark black. No other color at all. Honestly I just wanna know for education purposes. They are all my sweet babies now. I've also inherited a trio of Brassy backs, a set of Red Pyles and a Trio of Spangled. Never thought I'd be raising chickens, but I'm truly loving them.
 
So I looked at my little pullet closer today and she is getting some red color around the fleshy part of her face! I think you're right. I think she may be a Sapphire Gem!
