5 Week Old Bantams... What are we?

[weeboing]

All were, incorrectly, marked as Mille De Fleur D'uccles (or you know)... I've asked a few times and was told to keep posting as feathers continue coming in... And MAYBE we'll figure it out )

Pullet, Single Comb, No feathers on Legs



Cockerel, Single Comb, No feathers on Legs, White feathers starting to come in around back of neck
Flatter comb, Feathers on Legs, Feathering so slowly compared to others

Thank you so much for your time!

Could the top one(s) be golden sebrights? Then bottom one(s) be mottled D'uccles?

The tops ones look like Golden Sebrights, even with a single comb hatcheries don't always breed to the SOP. A d'Uccle would have feathered legs. The bottom ones are Bantam Light Brahmas

Thank y'all! I don't know where our local place buys theirs... They have chick day once a year and they had about 3000 from what I understand... (ducks, rabbits, geese, turkeys, and chickens) Sounds like a hatchery I guess... I haven't gone in and said anything about the "false" advertising because it is not their fault... The bottom one a customer probably picked up and put it in that box XXUSWBRKT...

I'm okay with Sebrights... Definitely learned to go with local breeders though... I was supposed to go to a local to pick up the Milles that I wanted... Someone else said that the bottom wasn't a light brahma but the chicks looked IDENTICAL...

I love the male though... He's so curious and CUTE! At least it is a matching set!

i ahve one jsut like th eone in the 3rd picture, its not a light brahma, mine is 5 months and ive still et to find out what kind it is

I have light brahma bantams and my chicks don't look anything like yours. I am thinking you more likely have a d'uccle too.

 

[BlueCamas]

d'Uccles have single combs and a lot more feathers on their legs. d'Uccles don't come in that variety either, those chicks have pea combs and the exact coloration of Light Brahma cockerels. Even in a hatchery, it's not common to find a d'Uccle with anything other than a single comb. I am positive that the last chicks are light Brahmas.

I've got buff brahmas myself, and while the foot feathering does look similar, by 5 weeks my chicks were looking much rounder and plumper than the two last chicks in your pictures. I couldn't say if they are d'Uccles, but I agree with the others saying not-brahmas.
