I have two of these little bantams from TSC. They are about 2 1/2 weeks old, give or take a few days and both were bought at the same time-they were much closer in size and feathering when I brought them home! I posted when I got them to identify the breed but I only posted a pic of one of them since they looked the same. Now I've noticed one has gotten much bigger in size, but hasn't really feathered out in his wings at all. The smaller one has started his wings feathering out. The other thing is, the bigger one has dark legs and the smaller one has light, orangey yellow legs. So I was just wondering if they were really the same because I didn't know if the same type of chicks can have differences like that. Previously people thought the one might be a brahma or a partridge cochin. Here's some newer pics:

Actually it was "assorted bantams" when I asked about breed...

The combs look like pea combs maybe? I'm new at this so I can't say for sure, but it's flat so far. I have a few others around the same age with single combs and I can kind of see theirs. These guys look like the combs are a little wider and are still flat if that helps!

Brahmas have pea combs. I think you have a pair of dark Brahmas (and there are bantam Brahmas). I've noticed that the roos tend to feather out slower than the hens. They are beautiful birds though.
