6 Bantam Chicks from Tractor Supply

Can anyone give any inference to what breeds the two chocolate/red ones are?

You can ask the place got them what hatchery they use and then try to narrow it done that's what I did with my bantam chicks. Also they are clean legged correct so no brahma, cochin, duccles, sultans or silkies

I see 2 Sultans, a Red/Buff Silkie, a possible Blue Cochin, and 2...Brown Red Old English Game Bantam? Not sure.

Maybe Brown Red OEGB...it would really help to know what hatchery your TSC got them from.

We picked out 6 bantam chicks from TSC last Saturday and are so excited! I'm pretty sure we've got one white silkie, one mottled cochin, and a few other assorted clean legged bantams. My kids are in love!!

Besides the Silkie & Cochin, it also looks like you have a Bantam Welsummer (MPC sells them so some hatchery must have them).

I was hoping the red/browns were RIRs. Dont know much about OEGBs.

They don't look like RIRs to me...I don't know of any American hatchery with RIR Bantams. I'm sure there are; they just aren't very common.

Don't look like OEGBs, definitely not brown reds, they hatch off black.

Ah, I see, I'm mistaken then. I had thought they looked a little like this chick from another post:

That's a beautiful chick, but doesn't look like any pure brown red I've ever hatched. Mine are always black, not always solid, kind of typical for a chick of any other black breed, except really tiny...lol.
