This is a Gold Sexlink chick. Otherwise known as a cinnamon queen.
This is not a silkie. It has four toes, no crest, and yellow skin. My guess would be a Blue/Black/Splash Cochin.
This is definitely a Blue/Black/Splash silkie. See the crest, blue skin, and five toes? Those are silkie traits.
This is a white Cochin chick. It is not quite buff, but definitely not the color of a splash chick.
This lil fella is DEFINITELY a gold laced Cochin! SOO cute, too!
I hope this has helped you out. I know what it's like to wonder about what breed your chicks are, and that's why I, after getting chickens, studied every breed I could, and, for the most pat, know them like the back of my hand. But that doesn't guarantee that I am 100% right. If you would like take a look at Privett Hatchery's:
They are all Bantams. MUCH smaller than the 'regular' chicks they were in with. Reason I thought the blackish one was a Silkie is the Black beak. I know hatchery bantams are not the best bred in the world. I got a white Sultan from McMurray back in October. He does NOT have a beard and only 4 toes, but definitely a Sultan. You can see him on the roost in these pics:
Others in my flock of fall babies are: Black Cochin Frizzle, Dark Brahma, Splash and Black Silkies, and a dark Serama pullet.
Thanks for the help!! Like I said, with my luck (previously 10 out of 15 roo's) they'll all be roo's anyway.
Congrats on you new babies! Have fun with em!
