Need help with 2 new chicks IDs

[sunshine4jt]

Hello all. Recently I recieved new chicks from a friend who recieved them from a school. She was told they were Rhode Island Reds and Barred Rock, but I have 2 of 8 that I don't believe are either. The first is black with black feet but a light comb. It's already bigger than the rest of the chicks same age AND there are feathers on its legs and feet! The 2nd is slowly changing colors and just like different than the RIR. I've attached pics of both.

I can confirm they neither of them are Rhode island red. I don't think they would be a barred rock (I've never actually seen one, but I don't thing it would be that colour if it was)
For the black one, my guess would be Brahma or langshan (from the feathers on its feet) not certain as I have never seen either as chicks...

They're both mutts.

Ok, thankyou

Even if they're 'mutts' do you have any thoughts on lineage? It's just that I've never had a chicken with feathered feet so I know this will be a new breed to my flock.

Marans, Brahma or Cochin maybe?

Perhaps some Silkie in the first one

Most flock's that people have are mixed flock's now, so you don't know what is going to hatch from an egg.

This is a thing I found online. It could have any of these in it (I know some are bearded so you could possibly leave them out)

I keep seeing silkies pop up in my searches too!
