Bantam Breed unknown? Can you help?

[4-H chicken mom]

I purchased these bantam chicks 7 weeks ago to go with a lonely duckling but I don't know what they are. It looks like I have a pair with beards and one without. Can you help identify?

do boys only still there tails up??? I have one, the waddles arn't so red but her tail always sticks up.... I was hoping it was a hen. I like "her."

we have a rooster and he and husband have bonded beautifully. We have four roosters and 16 hens so we are getting rid of roosters, but "Little Man" will stay with us. He never causes any problems whatsoever.

The way I understand it, D'uccles have beards and muffs and Belgian Booted banties have no beard and muffs. But they are still basically the same thing and can have the same colors, right?
So even though I'd call them all D'uccles, technically you have a pair of each?

I think you're correct on all accounts Mary.

Agreed. A pair (one pullet, one cockerel) of booted bantams and another of d'uccles. All porcelain. All lovely! Congrats!
