AWwwwwwww.... SO adorable!! I have no idea, I'd guess light buff or porc??? In the one pic, it looks like there's a little bit of blue happening??? Is that just shadow???

 

[Denise661]

Thanks! No shadow
One has more of a blue/gray color and the other has some on the back but just a small amount.

Are you sure those are silkies? Silkies should have black skin and 5 toes (yours looks pretty buff in leg color.) Maybe post over in "what breed" but I'd guess polish with my very limited knowledge.

They do have 5 toes.
I'm new to this so only a silkie have 5 toes or a Polish?
What's the difference between Polish and silkie.

What color are their legs? I'm taking back the polish guess (which was based on the big crest they have) because I just looked and polish have unfeathered legs and 4 toes. Your guys have feathered legs, yes? I'm also new to IDing chicks so you'd probably get better advice over in "what breed or gender." Here's other breeds with 5 toes: Dorking, Faverolle, Houdan, Sultans.

ETA: 1st gen crosses with at least some 5 toed breeds produce 5 toed offspring too.

they dont look like silies to me either, they dont have black skin. their beaks should be blue and their feet should be bluish-black. they might be silkies crosses

 

[Denise661]

Legs are light brown / yellow colour.

I think they are likely Sultans. Your chicks have a noticeably poofy crest and beard. Once their body feathers start coming in it should be easier to tell whether they are sultans or silkie crosses but I'm going with the former until proven wrong. Where did you get them?

Some guy gace them to my dad, and dad passed them to me
