Still need help on #1 and #4, bantams

[JedJackson]

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.

#1 really doesn't match anything Hoover's are currently listing. They also don't have light Brahma bantams on their list. Very confusing! Nevertheless I do think 2 and 3 are light Brahmas because they don't seem to have beards, and the one seems too dark to be a porcelain D'Uccle. The only thing 4 could maybe be on their list is red pyle OEGB, but those are usually close to white in color. 5 has to be a bbr OEGB.

They have light brahma bantams in their catalog! If I remember right anyways.

The catalog could be different from what they currently have listed online.

In their picture of assorted OEGB they have blue but it's not listed as for sale this year so if it is blue maybe only for assortments. 4 is a white laced red cornish, if it is from hoover it is not a bantam unless they didn't advertise it.

You're right on #4! Now that he/she has feathers it's definitely matching up. So pretty!!

So #2 is older. It seems to be a variety (or really poorly bred) of d'uccle! Not a brahma or cochin! What do you think?

Pretty positive numbers 2/3 turned out to be golden necked d'uccles! Definitely unexpected!

Yep, that is exactly what they are. Very cute!

Here is 'Austin' now. He was such a good surprise. My daughters favorite chicken was 'Gilbert', a porcelain D'uccle. He was murdered by a rampaging rooster last year. So now that we happened to get another D'uccle bantam cockerel she is so pleased.

The white laced red cornish is gorgeous! And seriously minuscule. She's one of my least friendly but I love to look at her.
