These are the chicks I am having problems being able to tell. there are few different ones they look like but am not for sure. maybe yall can help. The 1st 2 are regular chickens the rest are suppose to be Bantams.

2 regular chicks I think both rosters...They look to be Golden Comets, but not for sure... when they get a tad older I can usually tell if rosters or not.



1st Which chick. Suppose to be a bantam



2nd White chick has blue/grey legs and sorta puffy cheeks... suppose to be a bantam Has more of a rose comb.



These are the Black chicks which are suppose to be bantams but I think they are just small breeds of chickens but not sure what they are...


1st Black chick






2nd black chick all black






Black Chick 3




Black chick 4






my 3 speckled faced ones I call them


Brown bantam with speckled face





Black bantam with speckled face






gray/silver speckled faced bantam






my stripped heads I call them


1st stripped head chick






2nd stripped head chick

If they are Golden comets and were roosters then they would be white.

1st Which chick. Suppose to be a bantam
Either a OEGB or a Japanese Bantam


2nd White chick has blue/grey legs and sorta puffy cheeks... suppose to be a bantam Has more of a rose comb.
II would say an Easter Egger Bantam

Production Reds, probably both cockerels (but not 100% sure).


1st Which chick. Suppose to be a bantam
Probably a White Old English Game. Leaning towards cockerel.

2nd White chick has blue/grey legs and sorta puffy cheeks... suppose to be a bantam Has more of a rose comb.
Easter Egger, too young to tell gender.

These are the Black chicks which are suppose to be bantams but I think they are just small breeds of chickens but not sure what they are...

1st Black chick
Looks like a possible Partridge Rock to me, too young to sex.

2nd black chick all black
I'm thinking Black Wyandotte, too young to sex.

Black Chick 3
Possibly a Partridge Rock, too young to tell gender.


Black chick 4
Possible Partridge Rock, too young to sex.

Brown bantam with speckled face
Not sure on breed or gender.


Black bantam with speckled face
Not sure, possibly an Easter Egger.

gray/silver speckled faced bantam
Easter Egger, too young to sex.

1st stripped head chick
Might be an Easter Egger or Old English Game Bantam, too young to sex.

2nd stripped head chick

Easter Egger.

It's hard to tell.... I agree with @BantamLover21 on the first 3, and I think the reddish black ones are black sexlinks (which can also be partridged, see photo below), but they could be partridged rocks too. The last 5 are all look like Easter Eggers, and the solid black one may be a EE as well.



This hen looked just like your reddish black chicks when she was young. She is a black sexlink, and very good layer.
Enjoy your chickies!
 
Thank you all. I was thinking that the Easter eggers were what the spotty and stripped ones where.
The ones I said Golden comets My one roster was that color when he was that big and then he transformed to white...I have 2 Production Reds (hens as chicks already and they look nothing like them)
The black ones were marked straight run...
The one white I was thinking Japanese bantam too but is has light cream/tan markings
So dose the other white one...
these are what the 2 large ones the very 1st picture is of when I got them and another pic of them now. I at 1st though a buff or a mix but they really look a lot different from little to know.. like A LOT lol. I can usually find chick pictures and tell what I got or what things could be but this year I am stumped lol
