Dear Backyard Chicken experts can you please help me identify these 3 ( Karina, Christopher, & Eleanor ) little chicks... I know the other 3 chicks are all Reds... Karina, Christopher & Eleanor came from the mixed Bantams tub.  Thanks for your help in advance :)

Me thinks Karina is a Bantam Cochin possibly blue. I have no guess for the other 2.

I agree with you on Karina... I suspected she might be :) I'm clueless on the other two...

does any of these chicks have feathered shanks?

silkies and (projects), sumatras, lakenvelders, frizzles, polish and (projects), sultans, buff orps, black sexlinks, turkeys, red golden pheasents, Peepers, dogs, cats, fish, horses, wild kids, and one very understanding DH, come on over for a visit to the crazy farm

The chipmunk is probably an Old English game bantam. No idea about the other two.

The remaining 6 of my original 7 barred rocks are 3yrs old and happily divided between a friend and my mom.
Laying: 2 Partridge Rocks, 1 Columbian Wyandotte and 2 Black Australorps. 14 weeks: 3 bantam Araucana.
Cowed to chicken math and sharing my bedroom with 8 BBS Ameraucana mixes.

Karina looks like the bantam cochins I grabbed from there a couple weeks ago :)

 

Christopher looks like one of the black ones I got, i still don't know what it is, but i do no it' not very friendly, very skittish... so i hope yours isnt the same!

They are all really friendly. I have been handling them a lot. I have them in a special wooden warming box in the middle of my dinning room.  So they get tons of attention and interaction.
