What breed or genders are these??

Got these 4 ‘hens’ today but my suspicions say they are not. They are all young but unsure if actual age.
Also, chicken number 1 has crooked feet which turn inwards when they sit down. I’m not sure if it’s clear on the pictures 😅

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.
Yes we did think the white one could be cockerel
 
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.
Wait so the first picture is a pullt? The one that might be sick?
also they aren’t at my house and I can’t go down tonight but I can collect her tomorrow night but these were taken on Sunday and yesterday hey we’re walking around a lot.

Ok thanks! Is there any way to solve this or will they be like it for life? It doesn’t effect us because we will still help them to live a happy and healthy life but we are a bit concerned about her feet
I think it may be too late to correct it, but I’m not an expert. You can start a thread to see if there’s any vitamin supplements that might help. In case it is genetic, you should avoid breeding this Silkie.
