Mystery "Silkie" chicks

[kstephan1722]

My first batch of 6 chicks I got from tractor supply. These were tetra tints and black australorps. I got them because they are supposed to be good egg layers. After I researched some more, I wanted to get some easter eggers and some silkies, you know, fun chicks. I searched and I ended back up at TSC. I talked to the woman there and she said they get silkies mixed in with thier bantams every Friday but some lady usually comes in the afternoon and buys every silkie they get. So, that Friday I got to TSC 5 minutes after they opened. Me being the novice that I am, I asked her if they had silkies in their new batch (their tubs of chicks are blocked off by steel gates so people can't get very close at all). She looked for chicks with feathers on their feet and said she had 4 silkies. I said I'd take them and she put them in a box, but because of the law, I had to get a total of 6 chicks. Then, I realized they just got in Ameraucanas, so I told her to throw in 4 of those as well. That made my total 8 chicks! Now I can buy them. However, after I get home, I researched silkies to try to identify what colors mine would be. That's when I realized two of my "silkies" don't have blue feet or beaks. Can they still be silkies? If not, what are they? Here is a picture of all four of my "silkie" chicks. Please comment if you have an idea of what color they will be and/or what breed they are! I’m pretty sure my two actual silkie chicks will be white, but can you tell if they’re bearded? What does that mean anyways?

The first one looks to be a Dark Buff Brahma, the other three are silkies.

#1 Mille Fleur D'Uccle
#2 Porcelain D'uccle
Silkie #1 Not bearded
Silkie #2 Possibly bearded (can't quite tell from that angle)

In my experience D'Uccle's are very sweet calm birds.
You are fortunate to have gotten them!

I just got the exact same birds from TSC last night in NY. The first one was labeled Dark Buff Brahma, the other pen was labeled white silkies....why would TSC sell D'Uccle's for silkies? I already have Brahmas, and that first one is a Brahma. I have never had silkies, that is why I bought them. Hers look exactly like mine.

Your second chick looks just like my mystery chick! In the thread I posted about her people guessed either a Sultan or a Faverolles.

1- Millie Fleur D'uccle 100%

I was also thinking maybe sultan on mystery #2, not positive.

I agree that #1 is a Mille Fleur D'Uccle - I got some from TSC and I am in love with one that looks just like your #1 so I emailed the hatchery with an image and they told me it was a MFD

I think sometimes people who label the bins at TSC do not know chickens, they know pay checks!
