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.
 
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
The feet could be due to a vitamin deficiency, a genetic deformity, or a problem during incubation.

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.
