We have 2 barred Rocks we purchased as pullets. I think they are about 4 weeks old. I'm hoping someone can confirm this if they are old enough?

The other four were straight run ( I think that is what it's called). 2 were crested and 2 bantams. They are only 2 weeks old so I'm guessing way to young to guess the gender on. I'm hoping someone might know more about the breeds however. :)

Here are the two crested chicks.
This first one has the tiny fuzzy footed bantam in the background as well.

And then the two Bantams.

Multi-colored Bantam, who is much smaller than the crested ones, but way bigger than tiny fuzzy footed one.

Thank you for any help you give.

The barred rocks are still a bit young to difinitively guess gender for. I don't see anything on them yet that says 'roo' though.

Your two crested birds are Buff Polish. The second one may even be a buff laced polish, very pretty.

The little fuzzy-foot is probably a white cochin.

The final bird needs more pics from different angles. Also, where did you purchase it from?

Thank you so much for answering! I got them from a local feed store-Albany Oregon (willamette Valley). I'll try and get more pics of the multi colored bantam-thats my fast one...if I'm in the enclosure with them he's on my foot, running behind me...I'll have to get my daughter or husband to hold him for me. :)
 
Your crested's are both Polish. A white and a buff, I believe. :)

As for the little fuzzy-footed guy, I think he's a blue splash Cochin. He could easily prove me wrong though. The blue splash that I bought last spring turned out to be a stunning white. x)

Not sure on the second bantam, more pictures?

Hope this helps. :)
 
more photos of the lil bantam..fast lil devil that he is we managed a couple that aren't just blurs.

You guys are awesome. Thank you for all the help in trying to figure out what they are. Be prepared for more help when they are old enough to try and sex em. :)
