Updated photos on the bantam babies, now about 2 1/2 weeks old. (Still trying to figure out breeds, color & sex)
#1 Silver Duckwing (Dutch ?) (sex unknown)

#2 Frizzle (Cochin?, Buff ?, sex unknown)

#3 everything unknown



#4 White Cochin Bantam? (sex unknown)

#5 everything unknown

#6 Frizzle Cochin Buff or White ? (sex unknown)




Group shot to help with sizing and color variations - Thanks for everyones help

I think you're right about #1 being a dutch. Not sure what color.
#2 is a red frizzle Cochin.
#3 and #5 are partridge Cochins.
#4 is a white Cochin
#6 is a white frizzle Cochin.

They are too young to sex. You probably have to wait until at least 4 weeks.

Thankyou for your input, this is just my 2nd year of babies and still not great at figuring out breeds etc. The first one I know the color is a silver duckwing and was thinking the breed was dutch as the petite size & body shape is like a CLB dutch baby I has last year (the neighbours dog came over and killed her so I have been searching for another). Hoping this one is a girl, she already comes an purches on my shoulder

Babies are 4 weeks old today, hoping someone is able to tell me the sex of the 2 I have left (sold the others that i was not planning on keeping already).
The Silver Duckwing Dutch.........


And the Red Frizzle Cochin........

I'm thinking the dutch is a roo, the frizzle is a pullet.

I'm thinking the dutch is a roo, the frizzle is a pullet.

Those were my guesses as well. I was hoping I was wrong on fearing the dutch was a roo. Any idea if with 18 hens I could have 2 bantam roosters? I already have a sebright bantam roo so I vowed to not have any more roos but this little dutch has stolen my heart. Is comes and sits on my shoulder every night I watch tv and tries to fly up to my ARM or shoulder when I am in the baby pen. Is it safe for the roos and the girls to have a flock with 2 roosters?
Thankyou again everyone for your experience and knowledge .

My other crazy chicken lady idea: could the roo be a house bird in the evening and free range during the day with the flock or have his own tractor? Would that be an enjoyable life for him?

They both look like roosters to me. However, I have been wrong on Cochins before.

I'm pretty sure that "Silver Duckwing" is not a Silver Duckwing. I'm not sure what color this is, but it looks barred.

Im gonna agree w/ juliechick. After really looking at the one I thought and even said was Silver Duckwing Im thinking really isnt that.
