Easter Egger??

Date sort Score sort
I had a chipmunk marked chick that turned out to be an old english game bantam hen. I don't have any chick pics in my phone but here she is now.

She is tiny. Very friendly and talkative. One of my all time favorites. Tiny pink feet. Not much bigger than a mourning dove.

I tried had some trouble with my phone, that's the only internet I have. I tried researching chicks when I look up pics on bantams that cute little chipmunk pattern shows up on several types, its so confusing. And my black ones I cant find any info on them if they will stay black, what some having black legs and a little flat black bump for a comb means. I got them at tsc in a mixed tub so I am stumped on most. The 2 silkies were easy 5 toes and extra fluffy lol 1 is blue grey the other is brown and red, the D,Uccle was easy it has fluffy cheeks feathered legs and was a yellow and grey. None are very old the youngest we haven't even had a week the oldest we had 3 weeks it was the last bantam there so they let us buy just it, we kept it with our regular chicks till we got it friends. The newest barely have any wing feathers some are starting to get tail feathers. We have them inside since they're all so tiny. We are in the process of turning an old little tikes play house into there house. This is my first attempt raising chicks regular bantam and we got ducklings. I adore my ducklings they are so sweet, they call out for me will climb into my hands to be picked up they love human interaction and I think they have sort of adopted me as mom, they greet me every time I come in with lots of chatter and tail wagging. I wish I could get the bantams that friendly they run from me everytime I pick them up. I check daily for pasty butt had to clean a few with a wet q tip. I guess bantams just aren't as people friendly as ducklings

I have found the bantams to be very friendly and my last three batches of chicks have had me switch over to them.
I like that they are so small and don't eat much plus they are very talkative.
I have golden sebrights,porcelain belgian bearded d'uccle, Mille Fleur d'uccle, oeg,cochin and a few crosses from the cochin / Porcelain belgians that push each other out of the way to get me to pick them up and carry them around. All love to talk to me anytime I'm near them. Juliana posing for me when I asked her to. Really

I think 2 of my blacks may be Japanese they are very tiny compared to others. I like how the chipmunk patterns usually ends up colored. They're all so tiny I'm not ready to put them outside they are just so tiny. We have been handling them daily in hopes of getting them used to us
 
Ours are still young so we hope if we keep handling them they will see we mean them no harm my regular size chicks took up with us quickly they have sort of adopted me as momma hen they rush up to the door and jump up to be held hopefully our bantams will come around soon. We can hold them just have to catch them first where the regular chicks seek out being held
