Bantam Bin ID Help

[MROO]

I would like to start by saying that I know these babies are very young and there may be no way to determine their breeds correctly for several weeks. I've only had them since Saturday. They came from the TSC bantam bin.

But I'm curious, and I also have some very excited kiddos who keep asking me, and I'd love to be able to give them a better idea.

I've done a lot of comparisons online, here, and on Hoover's ID my chick page, and I might have some ideas, but possibly I'm overthinking it and second-guessing myself.

Chick number one, it's harder to see its feet, but they're not black. They're kind of a slate color? And it does have feathered legs.

All 4 have 4 toes. Any guesses are great and so appreciated. Thank you!

#1 is likely a porcelain d'uccles. I've gotten some rather nice ones from TSC in the past.
#2 is likely a golden sebright. TSC gets them pretty frequently
#3 looks like an OEGB - one of the neatest little birds on the planet!
#4, those feathered feet hint strongly at buff cochin - another frequent TSC bantam.
All four are terribly/terrifically cute. I'll bet your kids are pretty darned excited!

Thank you so much! I totally love the OEGB. I think they're so pretty, all of their varieties, so I'm really excited that one of them is one. I can't wait to see he/she grow up. The kids really are so excited. And these were not a planned purchase, even though we did have everything in order and ready. We've ordered BBS Orpingtons from Meyer that come in September. So getting these was a happy surprise for us all.

Watch out, hatching is addictive! Once you start hatching your own, you'll be tempted to just keep setting eggs to hatch more! I hatched a few batches at first, now I rarely don't have at least one incubator running. It's just so much fun, ended up being my favorite part of chickening. And broodies are just fascinating to watch with their babies, there's something so special about it and I much prefer to just give my broodies a couple chicks instead of trying to break them of their broodiness- I'm happy, they're happy. And if I don't want to keep their chicks permanently, I find them new homes after the broody weans them and isn't as interested in mothering anymore.

My neighbor does that as well. She had a broody bantam that you could tell wanted to be a mom, but she was pretty awful at actually staying on the egg the first go round She'd move around way too often. The egg never hatched, needless to say. But she remained broody and ultimately, my neighbor ended up giving her 2 eggs from her flock, that were not the bantam's eggs. She ended up hatching a gorgeous olive egger, lol. And she was a great mom!
