Any ideas on what kind of chickens these are?

[ckemn]

I would like to know if anyone can help me identify the types of chickens I have here. I was told they are bantams......?

Also, can you tell if the black one is a hen or a rooster?

Thanks so much for the help!

The last one is a White Black Tailed Japanese Bantam.

The black one looks like a hen.

The first one might be a mix. Maybe a Mille Fleur x Old English bantam.

First of all... WELCOME to BYC!! I an fairly new to this myself and do not trust my own judgment on identifying. Trust me though, this forum is full of knowledge and someone will be able to help you soon.

I'd have to agree about the first one being crossed, it definitely does look like it has some old English in it. And that is a hen.

And the 2nd one REALLY looks like a black Japanese hen, and the last one is a black tailed white Japanese rooster...I am envious! I have always wanted one! The black tailed whites soooo pretty!

first, Looks like a Mille fleur Old english game bantam Hen. (thats a actual Variety now.. Believe it or not. Loads of em), second. Black Japanese. or has Japenese somewhere in her (hence.. High tail). Last.. black tailed white japenese.

Now. About the OEGB hen. her color looks like she may have some other Variety, or Breed in her since- The colors wrong if shes pure OEGB. Mille fleur OEGBs should look more like Ginger reds with white specks, (i think they were developed by crossing a Spangle with a ginger red. but i dont know lol )

So -whatever she is. Shes pretty,
