Anyone wanna play a game of “What chicken is this?”

[MargoStewart]

First time chicken mama here. I’ve got two pullets, but also succumbed to the tiny bantam straight run babies and am wondering what and who they are. I got them on 3/30 so I’m just assuming they were born earlier that week. Which puts them between 2 and 3 weeks.

I know two are silkies. Extra toes and black skin. Curious if they may be frizzle silkies. The other two I’m not sure about. I have a plan for if any are cockerels since I live in city limits and can’t have cock-a-doodle-doing, but I’m hoping they are somehow magically all pullets.

Three photos of each baby. Any ideas of breeds and genders?

The first picture didn’t post. Here it is.

Chick 1 is looking like a black Cochin

2 is perhaps a splash old English game bantam. Not positive, though.

3 partridge Silkie

4 blue or splash Silkie

I think there are only four there, but let me know if I am wrong. Cute chickies!

Thanks for your reply! Those first two are ones I’m super curious about. The first one is almost a dark purple and I wondered if it could be a black Cochin. I haven’t heard of the Old English one, I’ll have to look that up.

I thought the white was going to be all white and now I’m thinking splash as well. But would love blue too!

1-Black Cochin Bantam
2- I need comb pictures and leg pictures. Are there any feather stubs? Its variety is columbian. I think it is a Light Brahma Bantam with very low leg feathering. I would also wonder if it's a Columbian Wyandotte Bantam which are quite uncommon but are carried by Cackle Hatchery. It's not an Old English Game Bantam because the type and variety are wrong. Was it from a feed store?
3- Partridge Silkie
4-Splash Silkie

Here are more pictures of the 2nd one. She is considerably smaller than the other bantams. I got her at Atwoods, same place where the black Cochin was purchased.

I think you somehow ended up with a Light Brahma Bantam without leg feathering. I've seen a Hoover's Brahma without leg feathering on here before. Pretty disappointing that hatcheries are selling them without a characteristic breed trait :/

Ok. Updated pictures of the small one. It’s getting these weird little feathers on the shoulders. None of the other birds looked much like this. I’m perplexed.
