Bantam road island red

[Lilly10310]

Hello everyone! I have some bantams that I think are bantam road island reds if that’s even a thing. So these are about 1 pound and like three and a half months old. The place I got them from said they are definitely bantams. So are these bantam road island reds? Or some other bantams?

like three and a half months old.

Did you mean 3.5 weeks old?

Pretty sure they are talking about the parents.

Looks like it could be a Bantam RIR. Update us with better pics once they feather in completely.

I read it wrong. Thought they said they were that big at 3.5 months old.

OP - post a recent pic.

Bantam Rhode Island Reds do exist.
Your chick might be one, but it can sometimes be hard to tell with young chicks.
Breed is usually more obvious once they finish growing up.

Things I can see now:
single comb
yellow feet
clean legs (=no feathers on the feet)
no crest on the head
no muffs on the face
normal feathers (not silkie or frizzle)
color about right

All of those traits are right for Rhode Island Red Bantams, and right now I cannot think of any other bantam breed that would match all of them.
