Assorted bantam

[Jordannn2008]

Hi! I am a first time chick owner. We have a good sized backyard and decided to get some chickies! I did do some research but I didn’t realize I would be getting an assortment of breeds or maybe that the tractor supply employee had no idea what I was talking about. I’m hoping some of you experts could help me determine the breeds of my bantam chicks!

hey! i've gotten many "assorted breeds" from tractor supply and it's always quite the task trying to identify them. it looks like you picked out some good breeds though. the chick in the first picture looks to me like a japanese bantam due to the 90 degree tail, upright posture, and itsy-bitsy legs! i can't see the color too well, but it looks like it may be a black-tailed-buff or a black-tailed white. the second chick has feathered feet (it looks like), earmuffs, and a beard so i'll have to say that one is a bearded belgian d'uccle. if it doesn't have feathered feet, i'd suggest that it's an easter egger bantam. the third chick looks hard-feathered and more gamey than the others, leading me to suggest that it's a dutch, old english game bantam, or one of those more sporty birds. however, it could be a japanese bantam or any other breed, too! i can't tell if it has a single or rose comb. that may aid in identifying what it is. and the last chick looks like a white japanese bantam or an easter egger bantam. i can't really tell if it has muffs or not from the picture, but the tail looks very upright. again, these are just my suggestions, but i hope you get the information you were looking for!
