Hello! These are my two most recent additions to my flock. They are to Easter rescues. I think they are bantams, I only have bantams and they don't seem big. Do you have any idea what breed they are? Any info breed is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

MINE HATCHED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM REALLY HAPPY!! At least two of them have hatched I am guessing last night! Only day 20 :) They are so tiny!! I am going to get pictures of them. It is storming (why does it always storm the day chicks hatch for me?).
Day 20 for me! I could hear them under my broody today. She is super protective. Last night she started acting really protective because before this she was fine with me. She will make a good mommy hen. Hope everyone is doing well!
