Any guess what sort of Bantam these are?

My son surprised me with an early Mother's day gift of 2 Bantam chicks. He had heard a discussion that his dad and I had in which I said, I wouldn't mind a couple Bantam chicks as long as they are Silkies. Anyway, 13 year old son talked Mamaw into driving him to Tractor Supply to look at chicks for him Momma. The lady there told him these are Silkies but I don't think they are. It's okay if they're not, we'll love them anyway. What I love the most is the way Henry took the initiative to get the chicks.
So anyway, what are your guesses; Cochin Bantam perhaps, what else?
*Holy heck it is crazy hard to get clear pics of these little cuties. 🤦

I'd say you have one D'Uccle (mille fluer) and one bantam Cochin, although I'm not too positive on the light one! For sure not silkies but cuties nonetheless!
Ooh, so that would be pretty cool. I'm excited to see what they turn out be. Does anyone else keep a hatchery catalog around for perusing periodically? We were going through ours tonight and the kids are very excited about the possibility of these being d'ulcce. Thanks so much for the guesses!
 
Updated images of the babies. They both love to fly and hop around. They're very friendly and are very happy to perch on your finger.
I tried to get better pictures of the buff one but the darker one is a camera hog. 😆

Cute! The Cochin Bantam is actually red rather than buff as I said earlier 🙃
