any ideas what breed/color these might grow up to be?

so far I only have the 13 banties... plus 2 Morgans (25 & 16), 2 Minis (14 & 6), 2 Standard Poodles (10 & 1), 3 cats, a blue & gold macaw-18 yo, cockatiel - 19 yo, and one hubby of going on 12 years (married, not old LOL).

here's what I think so far from what others have said...

1 - ? mottled jap / ancona both suggested
2 - ? spangled o.e. suggested
3 - buff cochin - ruled out the brahma, this chick has a single comb (still not 100% on the buff color tho, do they have any markings in the wings?)
4 - ? splash dutch / self blue o.e. - looking at pics of both and seeing how the feathers are coming in so far, i'm leaning more toward the blue than splash , but then again all i've looked at are the tips of flights and tail so far...
5 - ? bbr o.e (dutch?) / phoenix.
6 - porcelain d'Uccle - i was thinking something along those lines, or maybe lavender something? again i don't know my colors/breeds well, having had ee, sex links, dominique, mixes and cochins in the past - blue/splash cochins being my favorite 8)
7 - partridge cochin - again brahma was suggested but these 2 have single combs - but i wouldn't know a partridge from... nevermind LOL
8 - that was the easiest one. i knew this when i picked the little devil out. she's a fearless one. first to do everything. including peck the dog's nose LOL
9 - d'anver? no idea
10 - mille fleur d'Uccle - looking at some other pics i tend to concur. someone also suggested buff brahma but i don't think so. the coloration's wrong i think, again at least from what i can see of the feathers coming in
11 - ?? red/partridge cochin if it's a partrdge cochin then what's #7? LOL they're nothing alike but still adorable. i love that shade of red.
12 - salmon (white?) faverolles - i tend to agree with the faverolle, but do the salmon also have white flights?
 
My salmon faverolle's flights started coming in white, but then switched to tan and gray. She's over a month old now and the tips of her wings are mostly white, but her main wing feather color is brown with a lot of gray. Her back is coming in beautiful buff with white lacing. Her belly is snow white.

She's a lovely bird, and my husband's favorite. She's very much a loner w/ the other chicks, though, but I read that is typical of the breed. I have about 20 chicks right now and she and 1 or 2 others are the only ones who will actually let us pick them up. The rest run and fight like we're trying to kill them. The salmon faverolle (we named her Bonnie b/c we have a new rooster named Clyde, and you can't have a Clyde without a Bonnie!) and our sultan Annie seem to actually enjoy being held. Our bantam Polish doesn't mind it either. It's nice to have some "pet" chickens for a change.

P.S. I think if yours is a salmon like mine, which is probably is since whites are pretty rare, it's almost definitely a girl! They're sweet birds! As soon as I have the room, I think I might get some large fowl faverolles.

I'm in Greensboro, not far, either.

The one everyone is saying is a Faverolle (#12) is actually a Sultan.

#1 looks like a mottle Japanese to me. Look at those cute short legs!
#6 is a porcelain D'Uccle
#9 What kind of comb does that one have? Does it have a beard/muffs? It has really short thick legs. I was thinking that if it has a single comb, it might possibly be another Japanese. Otherwise, it might be a dark Cornish. If is has a rose comb and beard/muffs, then it could be a D'Anver
#10 could be a D'Uccle but I'm not seeing the beard/muffs that #6 has.
3, 7, and 11 are probably Cochins.
#8 is Polish
2, 4, and 5 are probably OEGB or Dutch

Should make for a cute little flock.
 
for #12, I have no clue what to call the comb on this one... looks like a single little spike. being white the pics are all over-exposing with the flash...


Ok i'll agree, 1 does look like a mottled japanese, and 6 a porcelain d'uccle
here's a pic of 6 just taken...

as for 9... i'm not an expert on combs, especially when it takes a magnifying glass to see them LOL

thoughts?? i'm thinking it's a rose?

I'm thinking 10 is a cochin... but what color?
here's a pic from tonite (all the rest are also taken tonite)

some other pics from tonite... maybe we can get some idea of colors they'll be?
man i love watching them grow but seeing pics of juveniles, i'll say they definitely have an 'ugly duckling' stage LOL

3, 5, and 12...

4-5t.jpg

4 & 5 (#5 sure is photogenic LOL)

oh and i'm not sure about the white crested black polish... she's got white outer flights and then turn to black... maybe a mottled?
