Yes I plan to buy from someone who has good feedback.. I wont give up, and I plan on being someone who sells people eggs, and chicks which are the pure breed, it really annoys me that people think its ok to sell something as pure when they know they are not.

What you got there is a mess. If you wanted pure polish or pure silkies, get rid of all of these and start fresh. It looks like the everything got mixed up in this batch between wrong combs and goofy feet and the coloring isn't very good either on some. Yes, they are cute, but I don't see a pure in the whole lot.

Yes they are all frizzled, none have any feathering like a silkie, the only thing they have is 5 toes, which could come from a sultan?? maybe

I have no clue on types of cones, which number chicks are these?? many thanks

A single comb looks like a saw blade. It is the comb most people think about when they thing about what a chicken looks like. The polish standard calls for a very small to non-existant comb, which usually means it is hidden by the crest feathers. A V-comb looks like a V: two small spikes jointed at the bottom, above the beak. There is no "blade" portion. A pea comb lies close to the head and has three rows that resemble peas in a pod. A walnut comb looks more or less like the meat of a walnut. I've also heard it described as looking like a wad of gum. It is oval, with a horizontal crease through the middle.

In a first generation cross you would not see silkie feathering. Chances are that these are from sizzle breeding. However, the five toes could indeed be from sultan or houdan breeding. However, both houdans and sultans have v-combs, so a cross to either of these should not allow for anything except V-combs. Also, neither houdans nor sultans come in any form of buff colouring.

What colour is the skin? (check the wing pit, not the legs)
