Got the last bantams...

[Harvest Mint]

Went to Tractor Supply to my pick up some chicks to replace the ones I lost in the last two months and all they had left were 10 assorted bantams. They had a 6 chick minimum so I just went with all of them. Anyway they all look about the same so I assume they are the same breed. Would anyone be able to tell me what they may be? Some seem to have really dark eyeliner like markings and some don't. Could that be a gender related thing or just a variant? There are two jerseys in there so pay them no mind.

Thanks in advance for your help!

I got some of these last year and they ended up being old English game bantams. I do now know them very well, but I would say that they are silver duckwing.

The various degrees of "eyeliner" are not signs of gender. They are probably Old English Game bantams of the Silver Duckwing and Golden Duckwing varieties.

I wasn't sure how to describe their eye markings. I have heard some breeds have certain characteristics associated with each gender. But since these seem to be Old English Bantams then they obviously don't have those kind characteristics. It would be cool to have both duckling varieties. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
