Goodness it's been awhile since I've posted (took a nice break to focus on the farm). Anyways, I went into Orsheln for potting soil and well they had the little guys marked down to $2 a piece so of course I had to take all 10
I am clueless when it comes to Bantam identification because well I have never had Bantams. They said they get their birds from Estes Hatchery in Vermont and according to the Estes website these are the Bantam breeds they have: Black Cochin, B.B. Red Old English, Buff Cochin, Golden Seabright, Millie Fleur, Partridge Cochin, Porcelain D’uncle, Red Cochin, Silkies (assorted colors), Silver Duckwing, Silver Seabright, White Black Tailed Jap.
Chick #1 (clean legs):
Note: Chick #1 had wry neck (couldn't even lift it's neck when it was at the store and was flopping around like a fish out of water by the time it got home) which is why it looks a little slumpy in the picture, but after some vitamins overnight it's up and running around today.
Chick #2 (feathered feet):
Chick #3 (feathered feet):
Chick #4 (feathered feet):
Chick #5 (clean legs):
Chick #6 (feathered feet and very light gray):
Chick #7 (feathered feet, Buff Cochin?):
Chick #8 (clean legs):
Chick #9 (clean legs):
Chick #10 (clean legs):

I learn something new every day on here! 8,9 and 10 have a white spot on their head with lighter markings (some grey throughout as well) and 1 does not with darker markings.
