Do they have top knots ,crest on head? They may be a silky cross

Maybe they are Silkie mixed with Austrolorp or some other black breed, or maybe the Silkie parent had black feathers. Mixed breeds can be pretty tricky to figure out. I think I read that the Silkie feather texture is not passed to the first mix generation. But the crest and the black skin can be passed to the first mix generation.

Yes silky cross usually have regular feathers,count the toes and look at skin under the wing

Yep, 5 toes would confirm silkie cross, but I don't know if all Silkie crosses have 5 toes.

no 5 toes here,but i believe the look more like the sumatra

Ok not silky,Sumatra then,do both have the crest on head,may have some polish blood then
