Needing Help identifying new chicks!

[JordannL]

We went to Rural King while they were getting their new chicks ready for the floor. We picked out 5 of them. They had them all mixed in together, other than 2 bantam chicks that we got(4&5 in the photos). But we aren't sure of their breed either. The associates weren't any help, unfortunately. I'd appreciate your help identifying our new chicks! Let me know if I can post different angles or specific areas for help!

Thank you and I was thinking #2 was a speckled sussex, I just wasn't postitive. 4 & 5 are Molle Fleur D'uccles?? I asked them if that was possible and they said they were bantam Brahmas!!! I've been wanting some of them for so long!

You're welcome.

Yep, Mille Fleur D'uccles. They got beards, & single combs, so not bantam Brahmas.

That's some awesome news. Thank you for your help!! I have never had them so I wasn't sure what they look like as chicks.

I agree.

D'Uccles of any color (including Mille Fleur) have beards (puffy cheeks) and single combs, as your chicks do. Brahmas of any color, bantam or standard size, would have no beards (no puffy cheeks) and would have pea combs (that look a little different at this age, and more obviously different as they grow up.)

I asked them if that was possible and they said they were bantam Brahmas!!!

It sounds like they knew enough to look for feathered feet, but missed the other details (either they didn't know, or they were busy/distracted and didn't think to check that.)

Thank you so much for the information!! I plan to to back to RK and see if they have anymore of them in and this will help me know what to look for specifically. I did some research and also read about vulture hocks so they can be more easily identifiable.

It works best if you start a new thread to ask about your chicks. Too many chicks in one thread can get confusing.
