I have two bantams that I just can't seem to figure out. Any guesses? Both are just over 4 weeks old.

Here is Kiwi, our darker and slightly larger bantam. Slate legs and muff have me leaning towards Blue Ameraucana. Any thoughts?











Here is Minnie. She has been much slower to feather but has recently started filling in. Feathers are lighter than Kiwi. Even some white feathers mixed in. No muff or beard to speak of but definite shank feathering. Also sporting a single comb. Any ideas on this little cockerel suspect? Already showing a little pink in wattles and comb at 4 weeks.









Thanks much!

Kiwi's not a maran no pinkish in the feet, hmmm maybe a Old English Blue Bantam and Minnie looks to be some kind Blue Cochin Bantam

Kiwi does have the EE/americana 'look' too her. Minnie looks like a splash Cochin bantam.
 
Thanks everyone! It's so much fun to hear everyone's responses. I would love to have a blue or splash cochin in the mix!
 
Kiwi is a Blue Ameraucana pullet
Minnie is a Blue or Splash Cochin pullet
