Does anyone know what breed of bantam these are? The white one is a leghorn but I don't know the brown ones.
They had some purple tail feathers when I first got them.

what do you mean purple tail feathers? dyed perhaps? they look like wheaten old english to me. i believe your "white leghorn" might be a white old english too, but i could be wrong. the legs are quite pale for a leghorn.
 
No, the purple feathers were all around the base of the tail and came out soon after they arrived. Beautiful real purple color too.
I'm open to the whites being something else, I just figured leghorn as that's the closest I've seen by surfing the internet.
thanks.

No pics of the purple feathers.
So, all Old English Bantams, eh? Anyone else think so? Same basic chicken in different colors?
 
pandu-
What color is the skin on your white?
I'm wondering now if my Banty Leghorn is an OEG also.
She looks just like your bird, but like yours, does not have the yellow legs of a Leghorn.

Thanks

Thank you, Lothiriel, that link was great. It helps to know the name to be able to Google! I saw both colors in there.
