What are these little chicks?

I got these two at a local farm store. They were labeled as silkies but I am wondering what they are? Neither have 5 toes, nor black skin, legs, or beak. There are 3 pics of each, #1 chick facing toward the right and #2 toward left. Thanks for the help!

Are they bantam? They are buff cochin, like @FuzzyCritters said. We bought "Silkies" from them too, we knew they weren't, but we wanted the black cochin bantams anyways. Turns out, they are mostly frizzles!

Thanks for the responses. I got them because they piqued my interest, not knowing what they were.... They are bantams. The first one has curly wings. Is it frizzled?

Very poor quality Silkies or Silkie mixes. Beak color off for Cochin along with first one having slightly silked feathers

That is simply not true. Many times hatchery quality ones do not have five toes. Being polydactyl is dominant, but that doesn't mean they can't carry the recessive four toed trait. If two parents that carried it were bred 25% of offspring would only have four toes. If it's a Silkie mix like I suspect and one parent carried the recessive and the other parent was a normal, non-polydactyl breed, only 50% of chicks would have five toes.
