2 and 3 are very unusual, I couldn't guess- think they might be mixed with something- silkies should have black skin/beak/comb unless rooster the comb turns plum coloured. Never seen a silkie with a raised single comb either, they are usually pretty flat or walnut looking.

1 and 4 look pretty rooooosterish to me.

I thought the same thing def never seen any with a single comb before super curious what they mixed them with

It is cool that they kept the feathering and 5 toes and one even has a blue ear lobe!!! Very interesting!

2 I'm questioning but the others look to be pullets.

My first impression tells me the first one is a pullet. The other ones kind of look like boys in the crest and the final one has a rather wide comb for a pullet (imo) but the stature suggests one.

I actually have silkies with single combs, it's possible, it's just considered a fault and is not common. However, the lighter skin does suggest mixing. There are a few other breeds that carry five toes, such as Sultans, Houdans, Faverolles, and Dorkings...I think the latter two are the only ones with a single comb, though.
