Not Dorkings...?

I've been browsing, looking for some large breed girls to replace Mrs Roo Too.  I came across a picture which made me do a double take,  as the girs (and the cockerel) in it were the spitting image of Captain Flint and the two Mrs FLints.  And their offspring.

Not Dorkings, but Silver Duckwing Welsummers perhaps?
I searched some more and found other pics of the breed, and the similarity is remarkable. 

We've always introduced them as Dorking Crosses (the yellow legs, brown eggs and four toes told us they weren't purebreed Dorkings).  

I'm not sure they are Silver Duckwing Welsummers either though, the eggs aren't brown enough, 

I don't mind what they are, they are really pretty girls, with super soft strokeable feathers.
