2 beautiful bantam babies-what are they?

Chick # 1

chick #2

they got their tail feathers seemingly(is that a word) overnight. Does that mean roos?

The second chick is a mille fleur d'uccle. Is that first chick bearded? If so, it's also a d'uccle. It's hard to tell from the pics, but it may be a porcelain. They are too young to sex, and the sickle feathers on a male do not come in for a few months. If they are males, the first sign you will see out of them is their combes getting larger and becoming pink/red within the next few weeks.

Not to sound idiotic, but could you explain bearded. I have looked it up and still don't get it.

Bearded birds have a beard of feathers under the beak. Here's a thread on bearded vs nb silkies: https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=327030

Okay he/she is bearded so I assume that makes it a d'Uccle. Right?

That's awesome just what I wanted.

First one is a Porcelain (I think) d'Uccle, and the second is a Mille Fleur. Congrats!
