What breed are these Silkies?

[ChickenPeep]

Hello!
October 20th we hatched 11 chicks. We had no idea what breed they'd be because we got them from a woman who said they were just "Mixed breed". 2 turned out to be mutts, one was a silver duckwing OEGB, one was a silkie/D uccle cross. and the 7 rest of them were silkies.
We thought one by the name of "Bubba" was a blue. But at about 2 weeks, he appeared top be getting gold on his chest and neck. We thought he was a partridge, but now i've seen that partridge chiks have chipmunk coloring. Bubba was just black/grey as a chick.

Now, Bubba is almost completely gold. And 2 other buddies are confusing us. These 2 were also thought to be blue, but are now getting yellowness on thier necks. the yellowness started coming in just a few weeks ago. (These guys are a little under 4 months old) What breed are they?

Blue silkies can get what is called gold or silver leakage. I believe it can be caused by mixing colors like blue and buff. I am no expert so maybe you'll get a more definitive answer from someone who is.
