I have 8 different chicks of 2 different ages. We purchased 4 bantams from the assorted bantam bin on March 16th.~3 weeks in the pictures. Then we went back to TSC last weekend, March 30th for some other things and they had all the chick on 1/2 price, so we got suckered into coming home with 4 more. ~1 week in the picks. I know it is likely too early to tell gender on anyone probably, but hopefully someone will have some educated guesses as to breeds. I'm trying to learn how to tell some of the breeds apart and think I've been successful in ID'ing some of them, but wanted to get some more professional input :) I don't have all great pics. Some of them did not want to play model for their photo shoots, but here's what I have.

Chick 1: Feathered legs. Frizzle Cochin right?

Chick 2: Clean black legs. S/he does have muffs at least. Not sure about beard. No idea about this one.

Chick 3: Feathered legs. Mille Fleur D'Uccle? Cochin? S/he doesn't seem to have anything other than possibly some slight muffs.

Chick 4: Clean legs. Solid yellow/feathering in solid white. Probably could be several things??

Chick 5 (first of newer batch):Clean legs. Golden Seabright?

Chick 6: Feathered legs. Cochin? color?

Chick 7: Feathered legs: Cochin? Thinking another frizzle. You can't see well in these pics but tips of wing feathers are curling. Black? Mottled?

Chick 8: Clean legs. Some kind of OEGB? I think I've seen that several breeds can have this chipmunk look?

Frizzle, Easter egger, Millie fluer, could be a white Japanese, gold seabright, white Cochin, mottled Cochin, and OEG.. your pretty good!
when I read your post it only listed to the gold Seabright part, might’ve been because I didn’t turn my phone sideways to expand the page lol
 
OK question...everyone (including me) seems to be thinking possibly white jap or OEGB for chick 4, but don't both of those breeds typically have a single comb, which at the age of 3 weeks, would be showing by now (as it is with the mille fleur and red frizzle who are the same age). Or can either of those breeds have a different style comb than single as I know some types of smaller combs (e.g. pea) don't show up til later age sometimes? Or would this mean that she is likely another breed altogether?
