I have a few mixed colored silkies. I have a partidge with a silvish/grey head and neck a blue/black with gold highlights through out his body. I love the mixed color silkies all mine are just from a mixed color of 2 silkes very beautiful.
 
Ok, here are some recent pics of the chicks in question, they are now betwen 2-3 weeks old

BB Is probably a buff Blue cross? silkie parents, blue skin, and extra toes on both feet

Is the non-silkie feathered hen next to the babies their mother? (If so she must carry the silkie allele to have silkie feathered babies.) I would say that BB's markings will be like hers: rather partridge-ish, but not exactly. Too much dark to be a buff.
