They’re beautiful! They have some nice crests, especially the hen. When it comes to quality of a silkie, some important check boxes are the following:
1) turquoise earlobes
2) walnut combs
3) black skin
4) five toes
It’s hard to tell from the photos, but it looks like at least one of yours has a red/pink color on their face. That should be a grey or black color. Mulberry is about as red as it gets.

Once you get those check boxes in a bird, you can build from there through breeding. The thing I most struggle with in my silkie breeding is getting nice, round crests, and it seems like you’ve got that down!
