#1 - American Game or Dutch? #2 - Dutch or ??? #3 - Cochin

Anyone want to guess at these bantams now that they are a little older and more defined? They are about 10 weeks old.

#1 - BBQ:
- slender body
- long, upright tail, all black
- rusty chest, gold patterned neck, black and tan patterned wings and back
- single comb
- blue legs
- very bold, outgoing personality (honestly thought she was a roo for a while)

I'm torn between either an American Game or Dutch but maybe someone else can clarify or even offer yet a third option.

#2 - Sweet n' Sour:
- slender body
- long tail, but carried in line with her body
- long wings that angle downward
- all buff with a bit of black on her wings and tail
- green legs
- looks like a rose comb starting
- a shy, but personable demeanor

I thought she might be a Blacktail Buff Dutch, but the rose comb threw me. Any suggestions?

#3 - Honey Mustard:

She's a cochin, for sure. I just had to include her picture so she doesn't think I'm slighting her.

Thanks!

Where did you get them? That always helps determine what they are..... I believe it is a Black Breasted Red Phoenix bantam judging by the white earlobe and loose feathering. For the second it is a RC Nankin, not a SQ bird but very cute.

Another note: I got them as chicks from a feed store in Altus, OK. They were in a bin labeled "Assorted Bantams" and the clerk wasn't sure of breeds.

Thanks.

I agree that third one is a nankin...look at the legs, if there is a pink stripe you got a GOOD looking nankin ....very lucky

I'm jealous!
