What breed or genders are these??

Unfortunately the breeds you have are a bit tricky for confirming gender until they crow or lay. Knowing the age could help, also pictures of the tail and back of the head and neck area can help on the silkies. I am not familiar with sexing polish.
 
Does anyone have any insight on the first chickens feet? Me and my family are a bit worries about them but last night he was walking a lot better and was more curious about things
 
I unfortunately cant give any advice about their feet but your first silkie pic appears to be a cockerel. Your polish appear to be pullets.
 
It's hard to say without knowing age. If they are still young, the black silkie is a cockerel for sure. If they are closer to 6 months or so there is a good chance it's a pullet getting ready to lay. Do the polish have any wattles forming? That is usually the easiest thing to look for on a polish.

I asked my mum and the guy sent us the ages of them. I’ll update the post now but some have wattles forming
 
Ok thanks for you help! Do u know about the other silkie? The white one?
The white one was a little tougher to judge. Based on the width of the comb I'd say there is a potential for it to also be a cockerel. I would update in a couple weeks and see if we can get a better idea.
 
Could you get some pictures of the wattle area with the polish chicks? Not sure on the black silkie with the age. I would expect a cockerel of that age to be crowing but I might see streamers on the head. Still don't have a guess for the white one. That being said, I'm not that great at sexing silkies😂
 
The first two are silkies, the other two are polish. The first silkie is a pullet. The other one is too young to tell.
The polish are both girls.
The fist silkie, the black one, doesn't look good at all. I think she's sick with something. I would separate her from the flock, and start a new thread to see if someone can help you treat her.
