Recently bought some chicks from the feed store but there's one that I'm not sure what breed it is, it's 2 weeks old and has not feathered at all and they're feather legged bantams, I'm pretty sure the one that has feathered is a d'uccle

Sorry for the bad quality pics but the one I have a question on is the smaller one, he's a light chocolate milk brown color, if it helps
 
They aren't Silkies, they're missing mulberry colored walnut combs, dark skin and extra tootsies.

They look like bantam Cochins to me, probably partridge or golden laced.

D'Uccles have beards and muffs, which your chicks don't appear to have, but sometimes (especially with feeds store chicks) their beards aren't the best.

I do know one thing for certain, they're super adorable! Good luck :)

Not a Partridge Cochin. (This is one, below. The bantam chicks are colored similarly.)


Perhaps it is a golden laced Cochin? Or, could that be splash coloring? They are really lovely!
 
Okay, I had a feeling someone would come along and say that. Partridge chicks can vary considerably in their coloring. Some are dark, like your chick. Some are light, like the OPs. Some have chipmunk stripes.
Here are some pictures, to prove my point: (pictures are not mine, taken from Google, I wish I still had my partridge Cochins though):





(these chicks look very similar to the OPs, no?)
They very well could be golden laced, which is why I mentioned it. But they are not splash, or blue, which is what splash is (2 copies of the blue gene).
