If you look at the sign they have on the bin, they give like 5 breeds that it could be. I know people have gotten brahama and fleur de luce bantams

I wanted to get some as well. But after the listed breeds it said that other bantams may also be included. I wasn't sure if 'other' meant plain and ugly so I skipped them. LOL


Congrats on your new chicks.

I had just called TSC this evening to find out the same thing, what exactly "Assorted Bantams" meant & what breeds that included.....the young girl who answered the phone had absolutely no idea what I was even asking

I got 3 D'uccles that turned out to be 2 girls and a boy. Also got 2 white silkies, a boy and a girl. The sixth chick died the next day and I don't know what it was.

I got 3 out of a bin at Atwoods that said bantams and pullets - praying that the big ones I got are pullets lol

I think some of them carry a bit more variety than ours does (we live in a bit more secluded area) but they seem to generally carry a variety of Old English Game (many of them are chipmunk colored), Silver Duckwings, Phoenix, Sebrights (Golden and Silver, Cochins (feather-footed), D'Uccle (dew-clay) in Mille Fleur and Porcelin colorings (also feather-footed), and the occasional solid black or solid white (not sure what these are maybe Japanese bantams or Dutch bantams), also alot of polish chicks at ours.... I haven't seen any silkies (feather-footed with black legs/skin) at ours but I know lots of people have found them at their own local TSC, and sometimes bantam varieties of some common standards like wyandottes (I think one of mine is a bantam wyandotte)! Good luck identifying them!

It depends on which hatchery your TSC is using. The local one here uses Privett. I hate the way they let people handle the chicks so won't buy any there-too much can go wrong with disease or internal injuries from kids dropping the poor things.

My TSC doesn't list what they might be. Just "bantams". I haven't seen any feathered legged varietys at all.

Both of the TSC in my area have put up cattle fencing and don't let customers touch them. It happened in 5 days time between when I bought first batch and second batch of chicks. I loved getting close to them but I was worried about my own kids squeezing them! The sales clerk told me it was a TSC company policy just changed that week. I bought 8 mixed bantam and was also very curios what they are, can't wait for them to show me! The staff had no idea.
