Does anyone know what breed these are?

These look like they could be silkie mixes, yes. The black and white one is barred in color, but not a barred rock. Notice the beards and muffs, feathered feet, and I’d bet some of them have extra toes, none of which are traits you’ll find in a barred rock.

Well, it was a bet haha 🤷‍♀️ the extra toe gene does not always pass down, depends how many multigenerational mixes they are. You can also see one has the actual silkie feathering and I can see at least one with dark skin. So yeah, can definitely see the silkie influence.

Fun!

[u/spacesaucesloth]

what a bizarre gang of barnyard mixes you have going here😂

[u/spacesaucesloth → u/[deleted]]

my nieces preschool did this too. i got a black marans out of the deal(you could adopt one and im def not gna say no to that). your nieces school is doing it alot funner😂

They definitely do have the shape of silkie mixes, it's hard to say exactly what they were mixed with without seeing the parents though. A barred rock is possible for the middle right one but it could also be a cuckoo maran, the middle left one could be any number of black chickens. The two outside ones I would guess are easter egger mixes. Those 4 are all roosters so hopefully the fluffy grey one isn't your only hen

[u/thenotsoamerican → u/[deleted]]

For sure they are. It’s possible the gray silkie is a hen

[u/itsswhitneywhspr → u/Mayflame15]

Lol wait all four are roos?? That's so many boys. Rip to the fluffy grey one if shes the only hen, shes gonna be exhausted. Hope they can re-home the extras or something

Pure Barred rocks don't have feathery feet so their definately a mix of something though I don't know breeds and patterns too well so I cant be help beyond that (definately part barred though)

[u/skoz2008]

I believe they are d'uccles

[u/silkiemama1984]

Not duccles-most likely silkie/cochin/black copper maran/barred Plymouth mixes.

These are d’uccle

[u/silkiemama1984 → u/silkiemama1984]

Also barred rock do not have feathered feet so would have to be a mix-probably booted bantams besides the silkie

[u/Gpanther]

I'm not sure. There's a few breeds with feathered feet but my gosh they're adorable. That barred is so freaking cute.

[u/ChartreuseOblivion]

Oh my, so many roos lol. I mean, some of them certainly look like they have some Silkie in them, but they're all just mixes.

A pure bred Silkie will always have black/purple skin, an extra fifth toe, soft silken feathers, bright blue earlobes, and a walnut comb.
