Can anyone determine the breed and/or gender of my new bantam chicks?

I picked them up from my local feed store last night. I couldn't resist!

For what it's worth, they came from a bin labled special strait run bantams. They were $3.19 each

Here is the 1st chick.


She (or he) has interesting colored down with sandish, black and white colored feathering starting to show.

And here is the 2nd chick









This is a pic of my very first and very young flock of my 2 mystery Bantams and 2 Rhode Island Reds in there brooder! I've hatched the RiR myself and just introduced the Bantams last night! So far so good!




Any help would be great! Thanks!!

First one, looks like maybe a wheaten OEGB? Possibly crele? 2nd, I'm not sure. Does it have feathered legs? Does it have a pea comb, looks like it might in the pic.

The second chick does have a pea comb but no feathered legs. I will try to get better quality pics up of them soon
 
Oh! Now I don't think that first one is wheaten after all! Does that one have a pea comb, too? Those are much better pics. I'm really not sure what they are. Good luck! I hope someone else will be able to help!
 
Both of them have pea combs but I still haven't been able to find any chicks that look similar online. Hopefully someone will know!
 
Do you know what hatchery the feed store gets their chicks from that will help narrow it down...at first i wanted to say oegb but with the wrong combs...they domt have feathered legs which rules out brahma...i will have to look again when im not on my phone
 
I have no clue where the feed store gets their chicks unfortunately. Hopefully someone can figure this mystery out! I am getting the feeling that the first chick is a roo. He's dominating the brooder! Even over my normal size RiR roo chick! I don't think he knows that he is a tiny bantam and they are huge! haha

Just incase you dont know, I am not tryiing to be insulting .. Bantom meaning small and streight run meaning what you get is what you get males or females .. Occasionally you will also get some crossed or mixed breeds too .. I cant venture a guess at this age but I want to add They are adorable !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I'm kind of starting to think that they may be crossed. I can't be sure though. Hoping someone can give a more definite answer!
