I bought a batch of silkie eggs. 2 of them are not.
Well I say 2.

All the silkies have the right amount of toes, black beaks, black legs, and right feathering.
These two have white legs and beaks. They do have feather on their legs except one has the silkie toes and one does not. Their growing wing feathers are brown with some lines and dots.
The chicks themselves are tan with stripes down their backs with brown in the middle.

I have searched and searched but can not figure out what they are. I emailed the lady I got them from a couple days ago to see if there could have been a mix in the eggs but have gotten no response. I dont mind it.. Just wonder what they are

Any suggestions?

I hatched out a 3 silkie chicks that match your description with 2 having 4 toes and the other with the normal 5. They are very cute though but smaller than the other 3 silkies. I will try to get a picture this evening and post.
 
Well, I took a better look at my chicks last night and the coloring seems like what you describe but mine do have black legs and beaks even though they only have the 4 toes.

Is this the coloring you are referring to? The one in the front left?
