Sultans or something else?

I got these two chicks out a bin marked “crested”. I didn’t look closely enough, and thought they were polish, but they have feathered feet and an extra toe. The closest thing they look like on the hatchery website is the Standard Sultan, but in their picture of Standard Sultans, the chicks are completely white. I don’t know much about Sultans, and google hasn’t helped much. Can Sultan chicks start out grey?

Could they be Silkies? Silkies have five toes. Maybe blue Silkies?

They are standard sized chicks, and they have white skin. I have made that mistake when buying out of the bantam bin before though

It'll be easier to tell when they're a little older!

I agree. Sultans just aren’t my favorite chickens, so I’d rather sell them now if that’s what they’ll be. Their little wing feathers seem to be coming in white, so I’ll probably go ahead and sell them and pick up some polish (if there are any left )
