Bantam Chick Breeds!!! Pic Heavy!!!

I’ve noticed hatchery d’Uccles are losing more of their ideal features lately and are even referred to as booted bantams sometimes but it is possible they may be Brahma, do they have a pea comb? As far as I know no hatcheries sell feather footed Easter Eggers but they are technically a mixed breed so that could be a possibility too.

For 1 & 2, I have looked but all I see is a flat thin line, but it could be just be wishful thinking on my part. the top of their beak doesn't look as wide at the top as what I have seen with other pea combs. They really don't have the fluffy checks that my #5 has either. The blue/lavender has clean legs. Also a pea comb if I look really really close.
 
They’re probably Buff Brahmas. I was thinking maybe the blue one is a Wyandotte but it doesn’t have yellow legs. It could be a hatchery quality Wyandotte or a blue Rosecomb. The only hatchery I know of that sells blue rosecombs is Cackle, I’m not sure if they sell to TSC
 
Find out what hatchery they came from, and then find out what breeds and colors that hatchery carries. Then it will be easy!
Some hatcheries mix the 'Booted Bantams' with the Belgian d'Uccles, in one batch. If you want those adorable muffs, get those chicks!

they order from Ideal so the breeds that jump out at me are Buff Brahma and and Mills Fleur D'Uccle. I almost ordered some but with minimum order requirements and shipping charges i decided to buy local. Originally i only wanted to get 8-10 at most. Well.... I have 22... So now I really can't order a big shipment without my husband taking my bank card and locking it up. Although it's so tempting. :lau
 
I just received my Mille Fleur bantam yesterday and he looks just like your #1 and #2, looks like they have feathered feet too? He's so tiny compared to the Mottled Cochin bantam who's the same size as the standard chicks. Lol, I didn't tell my husband either until they were here a full day. I named my Mille Fleur "Teeny Tiny". There he is at the top all by himself.
