We just got our baby chicks from Cackle today. Yay! But I am a first timer and we ordered hatchery choice variety pack bantams, so I have no idea what breeds they are. I am dying to know, so I would love your help guessing.

I took pictures of the groupings that looked similar:

#1 - she's kind of greyish - silkie?

#2 - they are a bit orangy on their backs with stubby wings

#3 - very pale yellow

#4 - speckled - Seabright?

#5 - black with white dot on head

#6 - no idea if these are even the same breed

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
 
Hi!

Well, your first pic baby doesn't have feathered legs, so it isn't a silkie.

I don't know much about bantams, but my guess on #5 is bantam Barred Rock. Pic #6 - the two on the right look like Australorps - don't know if they come in bantam size. The others - ???

Hopefully others with more chickie knowledge will chime in!

Good luck! They are adorable!

#1: Bantam EE
#2: Buff Orp
#3: BT White/White Jap
#4: Silver Sebright
#5: Bantam Barred Rock
#6: Blue/Black/Black ???
 
1. Blue Something?
2. Buff Orpington?
3. BT White Japanese
4. Sebright
5. Barred Rock Bantam
6. Something Black

Cute!!!!!

YOU GO GIRL! There's your answer! The only two I guessed right wer #3 and #4.

This message board has a great breed section (on home page) that shows pictures of all the breeds as chicks, adolescents, and adults. It's a cool source if you're new to chickens like me!

They are absolutely GORGEOUS! I ordered 25 from cackle (10 japanese black tailed white bantams and 15 golden laced sebright bantams) They sent 17 japanese & 16 sebrights. GOOD THING! 3 of my japanese have already died (on day 2 and day 3). SO, I have a bunch of chickies myself. Enjoy them! And post more pictures as they get older.
