Possible Pekins?

The first looks like a Silkie/Pekin cross. The second is probably a Polish mix. It's early in the game, but neither looks like a cockerel at this stage. 6-8 weeks is a good time to start sexing them.
Thank you, have to keep an eye on how they develop either way looking forward to seeing them grow
 
These look like silkie/pekin(cochin) mixes. That is where the crests come from. May even be some polish in there, if the breeder keeps all these breeds together.
1st generation silkie crosses often have 5 toes but not always. I have had several silkie crosses that had 4 toes as well. Nice looking birds! Too early to tell gender. 😊
All their chickens were kept together they seemed to have a bit of everything, not that I mind it’s just good to know what you have. Thank you for your help, looking forward to see them grow more.
 
They're definitely not pure Pekins. First looks to be part Silkie, second could be part Silkie or part Polish! If it has black skin, it would be part Silkie rather than Polish, but I'm just seeing dark shanks, not necessarily fibromelanosis. Too young to sex, but neither is screaming cockerel
As they’ve grown they definitely don’t seem full Pekin, I’ll have to wait to see how they look in a few weeks then hopefully it’s easier to tell. Thank you for the opinion.
