Okay, I went to my local feed store and fell in love with these two Bantams. I have been looking at breed pictures and the closest I can find (but certainly may be wrong) are Mille Fleurs. Comments?

They look like mille fleur d'Uccle chicks to me, but they should have some fluff on the middle toes.

If they start to get vulture hocks, then definitely d'Uccles. No hocks means they're probably something else.
 
Could also be Golden Laced Cochins...you will know in a few days if the feathers start to show dark tips. I know the Cochins have those bright yellow legs.
 
What kind of combs do they have? D'Uccles and Cochins have single combs which will look like a little straight serrated edge while Brahmas have pea combs which would look like little wide flat fleshy spots at this age.
 
Thanks so much for your help! This is my first time with bantams so I am learning so much from your comments. Here is a better front shot.
