Silkie or Sultan? or both?

[sallywithchickens]

I picked these two sweet chicks up at a swap over the weekend. The little Asian lady told me the dark one was a Silkie and the other was an "Angel Bird" - which I think she may have mistaken for a cockatoo. They are 3 and for months old, respectively and have feathered feet. I'm thinking the white "angel bird" could be a Sultan or Sultan-Silkie cross - just not sure at all. I was there to get my Buff Orpingtons and this other lady was desperate to sell them, so - me being the sucker and them being beautiful - they are now mine. Does anybody know what the white one might be? I'm pretty sure the dark one is a silkie, due to the fuzzy hat.
Thanks!

Sally

Ya the one on the right is a black silkie and the one on the left is a white sultan.

Yup. Silkie and a sultan. 100% sure. I have 11 sultans that age myself.

thanks! do you have any "sexing" tricks? I was told they are both girls, but the silkie acts more boyish and has the more pointed feathers, where the sultan has the rounded feathers. any ideas?
