We got these two little guys for our granddaughters to raise for their first 4-H project. At our local Farm Store these guys were in the Polish crested bin. They each picked out their chick, we got them home and immediately noticed the extra toe =5 We knew they had Feathered feet but didn't know much about Polish or perhaps Silkies until we got home and did some more research. My husband and I have only the wide bodied girls and Roo, So not only do we not know what they are, we don't know who they are!

Here we have Yolkie Ono and omelette. Yolkie is the one with the hair situation. We suspect Roo but don't know for sure.
Would love some help identifying these two characters. This is omelette on the right always fussing with Yolkies hair. Never plucking though.

These are current photos at 8 weeks
Next a couple from 2 weeks when the one we suspect might be a Roo had horrible feathers. So bad we thought he was sick. Now no problems.

Thanks in advance for your help
 
I believe that they are Houdans. Not sure about the 5 toes on that breed, but think that is one of the characteristics.
 
What beautiful birds! I think they look like silkies but mixed with something else. Google white cochin and that's not even close. Google white silkies and it's a much better match but the pure silkies are a little more fuzzy than your girls, which is why i think you have silkies mixed with something else. Regardless, they are lovely ladies.
 
Sourland nailed it - they totally look like houdans! Google that. And thanks much, because I have 3 week chicks and one is a mottled houdan rooster. He's gonna be so handsome!!
