Any Idea What Breed of Old English Bantams these are?

[Siberria]

We got them from a local feed and supply store. We asked them the breed, they just said that they had ordered a 'Old English Bantam Mix' but they didn't give me the details from where they ordered.

We just got two new chicks, they are from a Old English Bantam Assorment. Just wondering if anyone has any idea of what breed they are? We got them about a week ago and the yellow one is about 2 1/2 weeks and i think the black one is only 2 weeks. Im not sure if they are both male, the yellow one seems to have the male tail, but the little one is starting to show a little bit to. Any ideas?

The first one looks very similar to my bearded Belgian d'Anver. This is what he looked like as a chick. The coloring is very close, and the legs and feet are the same slate coloring. (We thought he was going to be a pullet, and named him Miss Babsie.......and then one day "she" crowed.)

lol yes sorry, ahhh I guess I shall just have to wait. I was just thinking maybe someone who raised oegb would know by looking at the chicks

. I was looking there are over 60 varieties of oegbs. Ah so many...

Aww really

, this one acts either way as well. It seems very laid back when held, very calm but acts a little like a roo when playing with the other one. Thank you for the idea I will check them out!

its not a d'anver sorry. d'anver's dont have single combs

 

[hdowden]

my guess on the middle one is a blue and the other maybe mille fleur pattern or quail but theres no telling till they feather out more though

Yeah I see that they have that as well.

this chick looks similar but the comb wouldnt be right for the Belgian with mine right?

if it has a single comb then no its not a d'anver i would bet if it looks similar to a quail d'anver then it maybe a quail oegb

I thought quail when I first saw that chick too, and the second one looks like a self blue or a blue duckwing pullet that needs to feather in.
