Bantam bunch!

[nicolelo34]

I have a few chicks from the Tractor Supply bantam bin, and I’m not entirely sure the breed of these few.

I was thinking that the small grey and brown chickens are Easter Eggers? (Sorry there’s not a great picture of the grey. It’s very elusive and doesn’t like to be photographed!) And are they pullets? I’m not entirely sure in my large rooster either.

Thanks for your input!

Picture 1 is a quail Belgian bantam, otherwise known as D'Anvers. Or it could be an Easter egger. Unclear which. Would need a shot of the side of its body to sex it, but I'm thinking pullet.

2, 3 This looks like one of the 'blue' Leghorns offered recently by the hatcheries. Not sure that it is a bantam. It is definitely a boy.

4, 5 Is this the same one as in the first picture? If so, it is a pullet. Still not sure if it's an Easter egger or D'Anvers. The silver one in an Easter egger pullet.

I totally agree on my big rooster not being a bantam! When he was a baby chick he grew twice as fast as the others and I always said he escaped his trough at Tractor Supply and they put him in with the bantams!

Thank you so much! You’ve helped a lot!

This is impressive. Bantam breeds are so tough to remember.

I find bantam breeds easier to remember. Less breeds than the standards.
