What are my chicks!?

[tommy390]

Hello I just signed up to hopefully figure out what kind of chicks I got from tsc about a week ago. In particular,the black ones with black skin black feathers black legs and beaks with 5 toes(no fuzz on the legs) any clue?

Are they fluffy (like silkies?) even if they don't have feathered feet. Because of the extra toes, they may be silkies. My silkies were misfits and 3 didn't have feathered feet until 6 weeks of age.

Most likely they are silkies...

They have kinda fuzzy heads and body but regular looking wings..I also have 5 black ones with flesh colored legs with yellow spots on the heads and yellowish wing tips and bums...Idk what they are either I hope I didn't buy 20 bantams...lol I want eggs!

Some of the black ones have only 4 toes now that I take a closer look.....

Sometimes silkies come minus the top knot ( the ball of fluff on top of their head). Hatcheries tend to do that. Although... I'm pretty sure there might be other breeds with 5 toes
