Are they silkies?

[RosyChickens]

an acquaintance said they had some silkies and I had been looking for some, so we met up and I got three little chicks. I was surprised to hear that both parents were black given the coloring of the chicks… and on closer inspections once I got home I realized only one had black skin, but they do have 5 toes. The feathers that are coming in seem barbed… so do we think they are silkies and parents are actually partridge? Mix silkies, or not at all?

They're Silkie mixes. The dad is part Silkie. From what I can see, I bet they're something like 3/4 Cochin Bantam and 1/4 Silkie

Agree with above.

Silkie mixes. I do like a single combed silkie!
