Bantam Mystery

[MamaCheepie]

Hi! We’ve had standard size chickens for a few years and decided to get some bantam babies from Tractor Supply this year. These were in an assorted bantams bin. I like to read up on my specific chicken breeds. I was able to ID some but need help on these 2. Any ideas?? I think 1 is a golden sebright? No clue on #2.

1 is a golden Sebright for sure.

2 could be several breeds. It's too early to be sure. Identifying its comb type could help but probably going to have to wait a bit for proper ID with that one.

Agreed 100%.

Thank you! I’ll report back with an update on #2 in a couple of weeks Out of curiosity, what are the possibilities that come to mind?

Easter egger, blue old English game, blue Dutch bantam. There are other possibilities as well.

You can rule out Cochins and Silkies since it doesn't have feathered legs.

Golden sebrights have slate gray feet and legs.

If you look at the shanks, you can see that they will turn slate.
