Welcome to BYC. Many of your young birds look like mixed breeds. The frizzle, for example, isn't a pure Polish frizzle because it has feathered legs and a smaller crest. The buff bird(s) and the white and gray birds also look mixed, but I am not sure what breeds are in their ancestries.

You have a pure white non-bearded Silkie, and two Polish. One looks like a cuckoo Polish, and cuckoo is the color pattern, not a judgement on the bird's temperament. The other, paler Polish also looks like a cuckoo mixed with some other color-- it has too much white to be a proper cuckoo, and its legs are white instead of slate.

Thanks so much for that info, they were a mixed lot of eggs under a broody so I had no idea when I bought them.
