Bantam Roo Breeds

[cjoffutt]

Good morning,

Can anyone please let me know what breed these two roos are? They are both ~ 7 months old, typical bantam sized.

Jack does have the 5th toe, Lace does not.

Not sure about Jack but the lace one could be a Japanese Bantam cross

Jack is a Silkie cross, likely with Cochin. Lace is a Japanese cross, likely with Cochin.

Thank you for the insight. I figured jack was a silkie cross (was sold as a silkie and has some markings of it). But with Lace, I had no idea what he was.

I've added (2) more pictures of another bantam roo we have if ya'll could help on it I'd appreciate it as well. Sorry for the questions, trying to see which is best for my nephew to use for 4H this year.

Red Cochin, this would be the one to be shown out of the three.

Awesome, thanks.

The red Cochin would be the best cause they do not accept cross breeds

Correct, that is what ultimately sparked the pondering of what each one was bred from. To me they've just been bantams unless I know for sure it's a certain breed.

Thanks again for the help on these.

Looks like the first one has some Buff Brahma bantam in it
