i recently bought 3 bantams from the feed store from the mixed straight run box and i was wondering anyone could tell the breed yet? i think they are around 2 weeks old maybe not quite. one just died of a sour crop but two are still alive. but i would like to know the breed of the one that died as well if anyone knows.

little grey bantam

ive named it tajo (ostrich in korean) since it stands up like a ostrich.

The little grey one could be a Modern Game Bantam. Do it's legs seem almost too long? It's hard to tell in the pics.
 
What feed store did you get them at, that will help identify the breeds (I live in the eastvale area, so may be familiar with the feed store).
 
your right that cochins would have feathered legs/feet. sorry i cant help you out, most of my bantams are feather legged so i cannot identify yours.
 
go to Ideal Poutry.com and shop on line then click on what ever bantam you think it is. They have pictures of the chick and grown bird.
