My babies from MPC came today! I ordered 1 bantam barred rock, 2 bantam assortment, and 1 green/blue egg layer assortment.

I know the black one without feathered feet is the barred rock. I’m guessing one of the feathered feet ones is a mottled Cochin. Or they both are? The one with feathered feet that’s more yellow doesn’t seem as small as the bantams to me either, so I’m not sure if I got substituted a large fowl.

Chick 1 is your green/blue layer by the process of elimination, but it could be a substitute since it's not showing the characteristic beards/muffs of most bantam layers of blue eggs.

I think the Cochins probably just look bigger because they are a fluffier breed-- they look like bantams to me, 1 mottled, 1 black. They are cute!
