Hello, all! Anybody want to tackle these babies? This is my first rodeo, but I sure have fun guessing!! I'd sure appreciate any help. The standards are all nearly 6 weeks old. The bantams, 6+ weeks from TSC.

#1 - with my nonexistent experience, I think this is a Roo. Betty White, EE.

#2 - This is my favorite chicken, Olive. She is so cuddly! Someone please tell me she is a she. Olive Egger.

#3 - Okay, so this is also my favorite chicken, Phantom the Bantam. I need help on breed for this one as well - cochin? Hen or Roo? She has always seemed older to me; so I put her at 7 weeks.

#4 - This is the Honorable Lady Cinnabun, one of the EE pullets we ordered, I presume.

Thanks so much everybody!!
 
1 looks like an Easter egger bantam. There is a glare on the comb in the 1st picture, so it's difficult to tell, but unless that comb is pink already, I am guessing pullet.

2 yeah, you already know this one is a girl. She is pretty.

3 Silver laced Cochin bantam. Looking like a pullet so far.

4 Probably an olive egger, in this case a cream Legbar cross. Or maybe a hatchery quality cream Legbar. Pullet.

5 buff silkie. I am guessing cockerel because the comb is so gigantic.

Thanks so much everybody!!


can you get a full side profile picture of Phantom could be cochin but easier to tell with the tail in the photo.

the only one that looks at this point like it might MAYBE be a boy to me is the Honorable Lady. lol... (based on the pink comb) the only breed of these I've seen in person at this age though is Cochin so keep in mind it's just a guess from me.

Wow! Thank you everyone so much for your responses! I just love this community of chicken lovers - so helpful to one another. Here is a (hopefully) better side view of Phantom:
