I hatched out a 27 standard chicks yesterday and bought a few bantam chicks today at the feed store. The first and second picture is one that I hatched. The guy that I got the eggs from said they were dark brahmas. I am not so sure. They do have feathered legs and are a bit bigger than my other chicks. The third and fourth pictures are some I picked up at the feed store. They have feathered legs, their faces are very yellow and black. My guess is Buff Brahma bantam. Do you think I am right? The last two pics are the other bantams I got today. They have feathered legs and are kind of striped on their backs. My guess, Gold laced or Partridge Cochin Bantams. Maybe someone has had some of these and will know for sure. The feed store gets their chicks from Ideal poultry. These were an assortment of bantams. All opinions welcome

pic # 1 supposed to be dark brahma


pic #2 supposed to be dark brahma


pic #3 buff brahma bantam??

#5 & 6 are Gold Laced Cochins, Partridge Cochins are darker, I just hatched some. Not sure on the rest as I have no experience with Brahmas

The bird in picture 1 and 2 isn't a Dark Brahma.
Dark Brahma chicks don't have the yellow spot on there head, you get that with barred breeds...
Might be a barred Cochin..
What type of comb do they (the dark and buff Brahma) have?
Here is a link to Brahma chicks, the dark Brahma are the 3rd and 4th row down.

I can't really tell much about their combs. I will look again in a few days.

I found some pics of barred cochins on the internet and I am pretty sure that that's what chicks 1 & 2 are. Any one agree?

Yup, I agree. Those are definitely NOT dark brahma's.
