If these are not silkies than what do you think they are?

I was going to say favorelles, but those appear to have crests and that would make them Sultans.

Besides the fact that they are lacking the dark skin.

heres a copy from feathersite...

Sultans, which come in both bantam and standard, are one of the more unique breeds of poultry. In addition to a full crest, muff and beard, they have heavily feathered shanks with vulture hocks (a disqualification in most breeds), five toes, and a small, V-shaped comb.

Thanks Everyone

How do Sultans do with going broody, that was one of the main reasons I wanted to get silkies.

They will brood, but in my experience with them, they are not very heat tolerant.

It also looks like they have muffs

Sultans are also bearded.

I had a sultan and a partridge cochin. The sultan had 5 toes. For comparison you can take a look at these pics. The light one is the sultan and the darker one is the cochin.
