My husband got me a surprise and brought home some ducklings and 2 bantams. I have a special needs chicken who can't go with the normal flock (cross beak and stunted growth) so the bantams will be their friends 🙂 anyhow, what do these look like? I thought one looks like a mille de fleur but I think it's wishful thinking because I've wanted one for a while lol. No idea on the other with the marking on their head. One has feathered feet one does not.

I think you have one Old English Game bantam, probably the Black Breasted Red variety. That's the one with a dark marking on the head, stripes on the back, and no feathers on the feet. I'm not positive about the comb type. Old English Game bantams have single combs. If it grows up to have a pea comb instead, that would mean either Dark Cornish Bantam or Easter Egger bantam (but I think it probably does have a single comb, which would mean OEGB.)

For the other one, I think it might be a Mille Fleur d'Uccle. The color is about right, and it has the feathered feet. I think I see a single comb and muff/beard on the face (puffy cheeks), but I'm not positive about those details while it is so young.

Mille Fleur D'uccle and OEGB
 
Do they still look like a mille fleur d'uccle?

The other is 100% an OEGB
