Assorted bantam chicks from Hoover's hatchery, in a mixed bin at farm store... And one (#4) that was in the bantam bin but I don't know what it is, not sure it's a bantam.

#1 has bare legs and a flat comb, otherwise I thought a dark oegb. It is miniscule. (Chick died, but still wondering what it was)
#2 and #3 are the same I think? I was hoping for porcelain d'uccle but not sure because they're a bit dark. Four toes, furry feet. They might have different combs though. Light brahma?
#4. Has bare legs and a flat (cushion, pea?) Comb.
#5 is an oegb, but what color?

I'll put #1on this post and the rest in seperate comments below. Thank you!

Number 2 and 3

Perhaps light brahma bantams? Still hoping they're porcelain d'uccle, but they seem too dark.

1 was maybe a blue rose comb. Not too sure though.

2, 3 are probably light Brahmas.

4 is maybe a Rhode Island Red bantam.

5 looks like an Old English game bantam. I'd guess it is spangled but could be black breasted red.
#1 seemed so unique, I'm really bummed. I've never had a RIR...didn't even know they did bantams. Not sure if hoovers has that kind of bantam though. I'll double check.

So in checking hoovers again, they don't have Spangled, so it'll have to be a black breasted red. As for #4, RIR bantam, they don't have those. Maybe it was a different chick from another bin? The only others I can remember were white leghorns and rainbow dixies, all seperated. Usually they have golden comets or ISA browns, but #4 is so much brighter than their typical coloring.
