Bantam breed?!

[disneygirlaudra]

Thank you so much ChickenHermit! I really scored at Atwoods! Any clues on the clean legged white and chipmunk ones?

I'm sort of a feather footed bantam specialist outside of Japanese bantams.

I keep silkies, cochins, d'uccles and Japanese. I'm less sure on the others because they aren't familiar to me- they might be old english game bantams (especially the chipmunk one), but I think there's other folks on here who would have a much better idea than I do.

Thank you for all of your help.

Here are the Downton "girls" I'm still thinking Cochin, Mille fluer d'uccle, and maybe a golden laced sebright? They are around 2-3 weeks old. Poor Edith (the d'uccle) had terrible pasty butt and constipation and she's still super tiny.

now,

Still thinking Japanese Bantams? 3 and 4 weeks old

And these last two I'm guessing bantam Easter Eggers? Their legs are slightly greenish: Also 3 and 4 weeks old.

This last white one we call Sweet Pea but it's anything but! I have no idea if any of these are roosters but if I had to choose one, this would be it! It's a scruffy, pecking, strutting little thing!

I love your downton "girls"! Pretty little things. I agree with your guess on breeds.

The little black and white ones do look Japanese bantam to me- black and black tailed white, respectively.

I think the last one (chipmunk stripes) and the little black one might be roos, based on how pink their combs are.

Thank you ChickenHermit, I was wondering about those red combs. I've never bought straight run or mystery bantams before so this will be interesting.

Here is "Clarice" at almost 7 weeks old. I'm thinking its name should be Chip or Dale though! I'm guessing Old English Game based on what others have said.

 

[ChickenHermit]

Definitely a roo with that comb and those wattles!

Here are my Downton girls now at 6 weeks
