i tried that...

i spent almost 2 hours on google trying to figure them out but....
i think julie chick is right about my grey one. with the legs i think its a modern game

but my black one is the problem. it sort of looked like a black rosecomb...
but then it started growing feathers and the longest feather is all white. the rest are all black though. so it can't be a rosecomb...sigh...anyone have any other ideas about the black one?

Are its legs short even for a bantam? It looks EXACTLY like my black japanese babies, so that would be my guess on the black.

 

[ChurpyChicken]

Black and white one looks like my cochin. But that has fluffy feet so I'm not sure if they can develop them at a later stage.

 

[Cowgrl4life]

Cochins hatch with the feathered feet, so if they arent feathered now, they wont be.

do they have a little bit of white feathering too?
it does seem slightly short but i can't tell if that's because he's short or because he's next to the modern game so he just looks short....

 

[mdgardner85]

The black and white one looks like either a black or gray jap at http://cacklehatchery.com/japanesebantams.html

 

[Cowgrl4life]

Yes, the black japs have a few white feathers on the tips of their wings

THANK YOU SO MUCH EVERYONE

after reading through everyone's suggestions i concluded that my little grey bantam with its absurdly long legs is a modern game chick (thank you juliechick)

and that my little black and white one with the funny short legs is a black japanese (thank you cowgrl4life)

thank you everyone for your help! i didn't even know about those two breeds and i've learned a lot.

I think you will enjoy your little Modern Game. I get a kick out of mine. Their long legs make them so fun to watch. They are also easy to tame and train.

UPDATE THEY HAVE GROWN they are about 7 weeks old.
Please help me confirm gender.

the modern game i'm guessing pullet...

these are seriously the best pictures i got...
this girl is so FREAKING FAST

and then the japanese bantam...i'm guessing cockerel?

what do you think?



and julie chick i AM loving my modern game..she is so cute...i'm hoping she's a she...
