Silkie color identification?

Here are a more shots of the questionable birds (excluding #2), and also a couple others. :)
#1 again, foot shot included:

So....red Silkie?

More angles of #3:

Can anyone tell me why this Black Silkie looks so different? It has black skin, a extra toe on one foot, and feathered legs. Looks beardless, plus I'm not noticing any "poof" on the head? I attached a leg photo, too.

Thank you all so much for the input! Much appreciated. :hugs

Someone else said I had a Red Silkie in the bunch, which is a big surprise....:D So far, the general consensus for #2 is Partridge. :)
I never would've thought #1 was a Silkie, either, but what about the black skin, extra toe, and walnut comb? :confused:

Well, you said some of them had four toes......this one has five? I'm not positive, it just really doesn't look like a silkie to me.

Surprisingly, it's one of the obvious Silkies with only 4. :) Yes, 5 toes. The second picture in my last post was of its little feet.

Totally agree. Doesn't appear to have a crest, either. I guess we shall see as the critter grows! :D
