I thought she was blue, but I’m kind of new to chickens, so I really don’t know what color hen 1 is. hen 2 give the appearance of being chocolate but has white tips on some feathers and white feathers on her feet.

both were hatched in 2021

Think you've got Dun/Khaki Silkies.

For the white tips, not sure the cause, but could just be lighter coloring.

Do you have pictures of the parents?
 
unfortunately not. This is my first year with silkies so they were bought as eggs
Would've been useful to see parents bug that's okay.

Color can be confirmed by breeding them to black, or blue though.
 
and of course I got rid of my black roo 🤦🏼‍♀️ they’re with a chocolate right now
Chocolate may work, it's black based. Yes, chocolate will work, you can get Self Fawns/Duns, or Self Khakis.
