Bantams breed/silkie colors? **Better photos this time?! lol

[Sunshyne276]

Thank you ALL who answered! When someone mentions a breed, I google it,
and try to see for myself how close the resemblance is..
And I gotta say.. Some of these breeds look SO much alike at this age, wow! lol

I do the Chicky C is a Sultan!! And I couldn't be happier! I think Sultans are adorable!
I do have to say, she/he does look like a tiny little Furby that has come to life!

I didn't notice that, thanks for bringing it up!!

She/he is a sweet lil one, too, love to be petted.

Anyway... Posted more pics, and a link to 50+ more pics I took today..
Feel free to look through, and let me know if you recognize any breeds.
Most of the photos from last night were too blurry!

On the one where there is a debate as to whether it is a Brahma or a Cochin, just look at the comb. Cochins have single combs and Brahmas have pea combs (a pea comb would be just a wide kind of flat spot). There is a possibility that your chipmunk colored, bearded/muffed chicks are D'Anvers.

the questionable chick could be a mottled cochin or a light brahma, and I agree its pretty easy to figure out - single comb = cochin flat peacomb = brahma.


I say brahma because it has no color on the head or face which tends to be indicitive of mottled cochins. My light chicks I had were either dusty black/gray or dark black like this on the back and neck area, but they never had any color on the face.

Thank you both! I like Brahmas and Cochins, so i'm pretty content with either! lol
I tried lookin at pics of Brahma chicks, and Cochin chicks, trying to compare the combs to this one..
I really can't tell! lol

Light Brahma or Mottled Cochin.. The wings are beginning to feather out white, so far. Would this indicate Light Brahma, or could it still be a Mottled Cochin?

 

[Alexis]

Could still be either, I imagine!
