Bantam Identification

[janiedoe]

This is my first bantam purchase. I brought 11 of them home this past Tuesday.
They came from Ideal Poultry, by way of Atwoods. A couple may be older than others.
I'm curious about this one. (White at front of photo.) Clean shanks. Pink legs. A bit bigger than the others.

This one. Also clean shanks & pink skin, but smaller than the 1st.

I'm pretty sure the darker one is a cochin, but what color? I don't know what the lighter one is. She is tiny, has clean shanks, and pink skin. She has a nice wing pattern too.

I'm not convinced that this solid black is even a bantam. His/her head & feet seem bigger. There were some black star pullets in the next bin.

I'll add more pictures as I get them. I know I have buff, red, and black, and maybe even a blue and a white cochin. Three are obvious frizzles. What's the odds of that?
Ideal has an extensive list of bantams.

Awww! They all look so pretty. I am not sure i'll be of good help but good luck!

Probably red pyle OEGBs for the first two. If one or both has a pea comb, then white laced red Cornish.

The one you think is a Cochin if probably a buff Brahma, but possibly Mille Fleur. The other in that picture is probably an Easter egger.

Usually black star female chicks have rusty colored faces, so it may just be a larger bantam chick.

Thank you!
I'd love to have an oegb. I think the Cornish are beautiful, but I've heard they are pretty pugnacious.
I wondered if I had a brahma, but I thought a bantam brahma would be larger than the cochins.

Cornish shouldn't be pugnacious. It's always a possibility with any breed, though. Bantam Brahmas as adults are the heaviest breed of bantams but Cochins bantams are big, too. I'm going by color pattern on that one.

I can't remember where I read that, about the Cornish. I certainly love the look of them. I'm looking forward to seeing how they turn out.

It should be obvious in a few weeks by the combs. Leg color is another way to tell-- pinkish white for OEGB, yellowish for Cornish.

Updated photos. I decided to get some new pics, while cleaning their brooder this morning.
I, unfortunately, lost the white frizzle on the 3rd day. She was about 1/4 of the size of the rest.
#10 is still quite a bit bigger than the others

I believe 9,8,&7 are all black cochin or possible mottled cochins

#6 as @JedJackson says appears to be a brahma (buff?)

#1 has green legs (easter egger?)

#2 red laced cornish?

#3 porcelain game?
#4 & 5 look very much alike
They are obviously frizzle cochins
