Bantam Friends - What are we?

post #1 of 10
Thread Starter 

These guys were in an assorted bin at the local farm store and the lady working had no idea what a bantam even was, let alone what hatchery they came from. Doesn't really matter what they are, the kids love them regardless, but we were just wondering.
(By the way they're on Facebook as Vic's Chicks!)

Buff Cochin? - its got feathered feet.

Thank you! I'll try to get better pictures when they're less bouncy if that's at all possible...

What kind of store is that? lol

It looks like a gift shop. If that's a pet store, it's super cute!

I am not really sure on the last 2, but the first two look like cochins.

The last one is a Sebright.  The first and second are most likely cochins, and the striped one is hard to tell from the pic.

Thanks for the help guys, its been fun figuring this out. We are a sort of gift shop, its Vic's General Store inside the Deanna Rose Children's Farmstead. Basically half gift store and half old time general store full of antiques and things, awesome place to work!
We think the first two are Cochins since they both have a single comb.  The first one would likely be a Buff, any ideas of color on the second?

The third chick is so hard to photograph, his color seems to confuse the camera on my already lousy camera phone. These pictures aren't much better but it does show the wing feather coming in a smokey grey/brown if that helps.

Last is the one we think may be a Seabright, any thoughts?
