Bantam chickens breed?

I just got these bantams not sure what breed they are

They look like mixed breeds. Where did you get them?

That's also way too many cockerels for that group. Just in case you weren't aware.

Yeah that’s probably a ratio (i think it’s hard to tell) of 6:6 roosters to hens. But I’m basing it off of the huge combs that I can see in between them and I probably missed a few. It should probably be closer to 1:7 or 1:8.

Yes I know they were a group that grew up together there's nine hens and ten roosters I need to get rid of probably six of the roosters or more I got them off craigslist they were just sold as bantams I was thinking they were Japanese cuz they're pretty small they're about the size of your hand but I'm not very familiar That's just going on Google search for bantam chickens

Could be Jap mixes. The one has sparsely feathered shanks/feet. They're also not quite built right. Too big/long.

Okay just wondering didn't know if they were specific breed figured they were mixed due to the fact that they were cheap I just like the way they look

They're a pretty little flock.

They may have some Japanese in them, but they are definitely not pure.
