What colour would these silkies be considered?

Yes they have 5 toes... or the ones I have inspected all do but one that has five on one foot and four on the other. They are actually just from a lady that has a bunch of silkies that she had go broody on her.... she pretty much gave them to me. (I gave her $20 for her son who helps raise the chickens... she gave me 11 of them)

I think they are gorgeous and I am just hoping to get some hens to be broody for me next year so that we can hatch our own chicks.

I am interested though as they look like splash and there are a few that have a bit of the blue/silver colour to them.
 
Oh and yeah they have a greenish black colour to the feet.... except the ones that are mostly black the feet look black too.

They look mixed. DO you know what color silkies she had? Are you sure theyre pure?

Id say blue/black and splash mixes. Maybe dark partridge. IDK yet, color changes as they get older
 
I am sure they are pure silkie... but no guarantee that they aren't mixed colours. They only have silkies but I don't know which colours they have and I think they probably are mixed colours and that is why I was asking would they be considered splash?
 
Oh well I think they are beautiful! Hopefully I get a few good broody hens out of the batch and it will be worth it!
