What breed are my chick?

[CloudedLullaby]

Theyre avout 3 to 4 weeks old. We were told they were all silkies but I have only found 3 silkies out of the seven.

The ones with white feet and 4 toes have feathers on their feet but also getting dominant ones on their hips.

They have pea combs as well so I think that narrows it down but I wanted to see what you guys came up with since I am just going by the internet.

Also, if you can sex them at all or give a guess I guess since theyre still really young I would appreciate it.

^ the hip feathers and feathered feet.

Sorry the pictures are so bad! They dont really like being held anymore! And wouldnt stay still. My rooms dont have any good lighting either.

Look like straight combs to me. If they aren't Silkie crosses then I suspect Cochin.

Brahma have pea combs and feathered legs but I can't remember how many toes.

Most those pics really are too low quality to discern anything... but maybe someone with better eyesight than me will chime in. Where did ya get them?

I don't see pea combs, I see single combs. You have cochins. Looks like the first, could be mottled, but it has vulture hocks, which is undesirable in the breed.

Brahmas have the standard 4 toes.

The one second to the top may be a Cochin.

Our friend bought them off someone around our area for us. So i have no clue. I can try to ask for more info.

We already have silkies. And there are 3 that are black skinned and everything that have the mutated toe.

But these four to me were obviously not silkie.

I thought cochin and i am really hoping they are. I just don't know if they are going to be mixed or what.

I am at work so I will try to get pictures again tomorrow morning but we dont have good phones that take good quality pictures.

Rocky is my favorite.

Sorry i dont know what I am talking bout. I probably just remembered wrong about the combs lol. My bad.

If vulture hocks are a sign theyre cochin then they are. I believe 3 out of 4 have them. Or maybe all have them. I will have to double check.

But thats what also gave away they werent silkie to me. I was wondering what those feathers were called.
