Help me identify these chicks!

Where did the dark pullet come from? Knowing that and having a better pic will resolve this.
She's a rescue. I'll try to get better pics. I have Bantams that I'm raising and we got a call about some chickens that were not being fed. When we picked them up she was with a trio of white Silkies , the Frizzle stag and e Rhode Island Red laying hen! Lol
 
Shes doesn't have a cone yet.

Yes she does have a comb.
It's small, but I can see in the photo that it is there.
But I can't see it clearly enough to know if it's a single comb or a pea comb. (I'm pretty sure it's not wide enough to be a rose comb, but of course I could be wrong on that.)

Pea comb would mean she might be a Sumatra, single comb would be right for most of the other breeds that have been suggested.

here's a little better image, I know it looks like she's light colored in the breast but she's not. It's she the way the sun is shining... Obviously I'm not a great photographer. lol
 
It's hard to get good pictures of a black comb on a black chicken!

But I think that's a single comb, so that would mean she's not a Sumatra.

She could still be just about any of the other breeds that people have been suggesting. The breed may become more obvious when she grows up-- some have combs that stay black, while some others stay red.

And of course, she may not be a pure breed at all. She might be some mix. If one of the Silkies was her father, she might have inherited the black skin from him.

She probably doesn't have a large comb, but she does have a comb. Chickens have combs from hatch, its just very small. When you look at her comb, is it straight and serrated like a single comb? Or flat, wide and possibly bumpy like a rose, or pea comb?

Edit: Just saw your most recent photos. She has a single comb, so I agree with @NatJ, she's going to be something else that others suggested.

Her skin is white. I agree she may not be a pure breed unfortunately we have no idea where they originated from. The Silkies are white and definitely look pure, same with the Black Frizzle and Rhode Island Red. We're hoping to raise and donate to local FFA and 4H clubs to help kids who maybe cannot afford to buy and raise show birds. So I'm just really wanting to educate myself. I have a Brassy Back hen who is just a great pet and this little black pullet has a great temperament for a pet. She will probably just grow up and live her best life out here at Bougee Bantams...
 
You say her skin is white. But you also say that everything about her is solid black. So if she has white skin, which parts of her body is it on?

What color are the bottoms of her feet? That's usually a good place to see skin color.
Her skin under her feathers is white, her feet are black. Her beak is black. Hers eyes are black and the fleshy parts around her face are black. Her lobes are starting to look red. I posted pics. Sorry if it's confusing.
