I just bought 9 chicks. Apparently one of them is a frizzle silkie but I don’t see any feathers pointing to frizzle?
I think chick one is a polish?
Some are supposed to be pekins are marans I’m not sure who’s who.
If anyone has ideas on gender too that would be great.

I don't see any silkies, but it's a little early to tell on the rest yet.
Thank you. That’s unfortunate though I was told one was definitely a silkie. I was looking for silkie and polish chicks and it looks like I maybe have one polish and that’s it.
 
Where were they purchased/what are the possible breeds? Only crested one looks to be a White Crested Black Polish
Just from a girl local to me.
There’s supposed to be 2 polish and one frizzle silkie and the Others are supposed to be pekins and marans.
I know the polish hen was put with a frizzle rooster at times and she did have some other breeds too, she paired them up with who she wanted chicks from but all the chicks went in the brooder together so I think it’s possible some could be other breeds.
 
I think chick 7 is the one that was sold to me as a frizzled silkie, doesn’t look like a silkie and doesn’t look frizzled. But s/he does have 5 toes on one foot. Sold to me as a hen but based on personality I’m thinking roo.

I don't think the sellers know what they're talking about. You cannot sex young Silkies except by vent sexing but due to being delicate bantams it's near impossible for a breeder to accomplish this. It looks to be a cockerel
 
Chick 3 looks to have a large head spot+ a few white markings. Will most likely end up with barred patterning. Cuckoo maran is probably what it is if you were sold marans. Gorgeous breed. If it’s a pullet, it should lay dark brown eggs.

Do you think that chick is a silkie? The feathers are coming in the same as the other chicks, doesn’t seem to have the silkied feathers

Great :) chick 2 and 3 are very similar, the more the feathers come in the more alike they look so I’m guessing both are the same breed.
They’re very sweet chicks
