A few days ago, we went to our local feed store and bought 4 bantam chicks all of different breeds...The only one i have identified was the our silkie (pretty easy to identify because of its skin color and feathers) but the other three are still in question...
.
Chick #1 : Has large "fluff ball" on its head... but the feet are not like a silkie's, has grey along it's back as well

Chick #2 : This one is completely black except for his white back end. He is smaller than the others (genetic... others of his breed were the same size at the store) everything else is completely normal.

Chick #3 : sitting next to our graceful silkie (Left) Is Chick #3... he looks like a rhode island red to me... but since he is a bantam i do not know... brownish red in color with darker chocolate brown stripe down the middle of his lower back.
Our family has not had chicks in so long and never bantams... we hope that you can share your knowledge!
~Thanks
