I bought 3 new babies about 3 weeks ago. The associate that was working at the time said they were just assorted pullets. A few days later I found out from a different associate that they are assorted Bantum Straight Runs. I tried to get good pics, but these little boogers are FAST and always on the go! Anyone want to take some guesses as to Breed, Type and Sex? The first little one is much larger than the other two. Much more alert to its surroundings and enjoys bumping chests with my Ideal 236 chick (which I’m pretty sure is a roo.) The second one is very calm and fluffy, but playful and very sweet. The last one is SO tiny! The smallest one of the three. It is also pretty calm, but will play with all the others. It’s not big on being picked up though. And yes, it IS chillin on top of a roll of toilet paper! 😂 I lay burlap out on the floor and take them out for a few minutes of play time everyday, but I clean up after them, so they don’t step in it. (Spoiled already!) Anyone wanna chime in on what these babies are?

The first two look like cochins, unless the second one doesn't have a single comb. It's a bit hard to tell from the photos. The third is either an odd looking cochin or a D'uccle.
The first chicks is definitely a boy. The others look like girls for now, but they're young so it could still change.
 
I'm thinking you have a cochin cockerel for #1, I think a brahma for the second (unless it has a single comb?) it looks like a cochin but I don't think it has a single comb. I believe the third one is a d'uccle : D
#2 doesn’t seem to have any type of comb yet. It’s only 3 week old though and it has a lot of fluff on its head. My Ideal 236 is double her size and is the same age.
 
If it is a cochin, then it is most likely a partridge. Does it have a single comb?

I think it's a single comb, although of course it's hard to tell on tiny chicks that don't want to allow close-up pictures. I'm sure it's not a rose comb, but I can't be positive about whether it's a pea comb.

I agree that it's probably a Partridge Cochin.
