I picked up 5 adorable little chicks today at the local feed store from the bantam assortments! I have ideas of what they could be, but I’m not sure because I don’t have a lot of experience with different breeds of bantams. Let me know what you think!
They could be a number of different breeds including OEGB, Sebright, D’uccles, Cochins, Aracauna, Brahma, Wyandottes... pretty much any breed as a bantam.


Chick 1: My guess is Golden Sebright. It’s hard to tell from the photo but this little guy has stripes on its back, but not the typical chipmunk pattern like on partridges.

Chick 2: My guess is partridge OEGB, but I have no clue! No cheek puffs or leg feathers on this guy.

Chick 3: I don’t have a set guess on this one! Buff Brahma is the hope but I think a Milli Fluer D’uccle is possible.

Chick 4: I chose this one because I liked it’s down color! I have no clue what it is... OEGB? But what color?

Chick 5: Last one! It looks similar to Chick 3... but has some black coming in.

Thanks for everyone's replies!
Unfortunately we had 3 out of these 5 chicks pass due to unknown reasons (some were weak, my guess is stress from shipping :() But also two new additions! We were able to go back to the feed store to get the last two remaining bantams.
Here are some more recent photos! They are all 3.5 weeks old.

Original Chick 4:

Original Chick 5 + New Chick 6:
(One of the new chicks is the same exact breed as this one, so I only included one photo!)
My guess is still Milli Fluer D'uccle, and probably a cockerel lol!

Chick 7:
I'm guessing an OEGB, but color??? And I'm also guessing another male! It is a lot bigger than the other suspected OEGB above! As a day old, this one was mostly white but had an overall reddish hue and some orangish points on it's face and wings.

Sorry to hear about your losses. The wheaten OEGB does look like a pullet- I don't see much black like the cockerels have. Yep the 2nd is a mille fleur d'Uccle cockerel. The last one is a white laced red Cornish- they're trickier since they have small pea combs.

A Cornish huh?! That’s kinda cool! It would explain the thick legs this chick has! Are they bantams though? All of these chicks came from an assorted bantam box and I don’t remember seeing a Cornish as a possibility...
