I ordered chicks from My Pet Chicken recently. I was hoping to order a Silkie, but they were all sold out. So I got assorted bantams, but when they arrived, I have two that have 5 toes. I looked and it says 5 breeds have 5 toes, but I kind of ruled out every other breed. I don't want to get too excited about it being a Silkie, and then it turn out to be something else, so could someone help? I have three chicks I'm not sure about.
Here is the first one.

Any ideas on any of these?
 
Top two do look like silkies. They sometimes say they're sold out because they might not have enough birds to fill an order, but have a few spare for the assortments.

I think the bottom is a white-crested black Polish.

The second one is a Partridge Silkie for sure. The bottom one is Polish. Does it have 5 toes or 4?

X2...first is a black silkie, second a partridge and the third is a white crested black polish :) Congratulations!
 
yeah the third one has 4 toes, I kind of thought that was a polish because we've had one of them before. Thanks for helping!
 
it also appears that they are beardless silkies as well and may have very small to non existent crest :/
