The first two white birds are both boys. The second white has obvious streamers coming off the head. The black one appears to be a girl.

I wouldnt exactly say the first bird is not a pure silkie, but I would say it is a poor quality one.

The bird I was saying wasn't a pure silkie was Easter_pink_silkies' bird in their first pic, as it's smooth feathered, as opposed to silkie feathered.

Those look like hatchery silkies utilized more often as meat birds than pets.

little heckles doesnt surprize me, but that leaves to qeustion her brindle "sister" with silkie feathers.

id say my breeder has some splaining to do-according to her these two birds were from the same brood.
