The girl in front is the smallest daintiest one. She reminds me of a quail

I don’t know if you can tell, but the boy in the last photos toes look strange. The extra are spread out on one foot and pressed together on the other.
Thanks! I google beardless silkies and got to see some different looking ones. I found some “broiler silkies” too that were less fluffy feathered than most.Those are beardless silkies. I have some.

I wouldn’t mind having some silkies, but I’d like them to be able to see predators and I think the big crest would get in way of that.
i think I’m approaching the separate stage, but I’ve never done this with rooster before.I separate them if they are actually hurting. They can go from getting along to having their crest pulled out in one day. I had that issue with some this year. 2 and 3 year old roosters who'd gotten along just fine since the younger hatched. Younger one was the better rooster and I didn't have space so just culled one.
I'm not sure what I did will help you. I have like 5 roosters with my nearly full time free range flock. When one is being an a** hat I do separate. He gets his own front row seat to everyone's freedom for about a week. The flock can come visit at the bars of his coop if they want. Then he gets to be with them again under supervision for the next few days. If the fights are normal skirmishes I leave them be if not I cull the instigator.i think I’m approaching the separate stage, but I’ve never done this with rooster before.
Can I separate the bully roo for a few days and then reintroduce him to reestablish the pecking order, like I would do if I had a bully hen? Or will roosters just fight more after reintroduction?
I’m not against culling (they’re both pet quality so wouldn’t be easy to rehome) but I’d really rather not if it can be avoided by a time out lol.
