What am I??

I hatched 4 Serama chicks under a broody about 2 months ago. One was an odd one out. Hatched black, with a small crest and feathered feet. Teh breeder claimed possible Satin, since she got some Satin eggs mixed in with the Serama's at one point. Today she black with small flecks of golden leakage on her neck. She has a very small crest and beautiful feathers feet. Are we still thinking Satin? She's the same size as the other
Thank you! Silkie cross? Definitely bantam. I've been thinking pullet for a bit. Just raised a Silkie cockerel and the comb development is much more pronounced by 6 weeks. Hers is still non existent.
Any ideas on color of the Serama's?

Also added some pics of the other Serama chicks. Opinions on color are welcome! :D

Splash maybe for the hens? Not sure about the Cockerel.
@RoostersAreAwesome knows about color. @Amer too!

Seremas don't necessarily come in standardized colors many times. A few of yours are mottled :)

In the second picture, the dark one on the right side in the front is a definite cockerel, but I see no others. Looks like plenty of pullets!

That was my guess as well. He's been sporting that bright comb since 6 week of age. :D
Its really prefect since I want to do a small breeding project. 2 hens and a cockerel until I start breeding next year. Then I can keep some more pullets. Our Mystery bird will go into the Mixed bantam pen for breeding.
Master bird, bingo! She now has a name! 😁

(We have been through more than eleven roosters, I know what a little Hitch-cock looks like! ;)
All awesome! I wish I had a mixed breed pen....

The black pullet is some sort of silkie mix, possibly a silkie x serama. I agree that the pullets are mottled and the cockerel is blue with leakage.
