Brahma chicks

[CannedMonster]

I'd guess EE for #4 too. The green colored legs...

Where did you get them? I'm wondering if you might have barnyard mixes.

They were bought at Tractor Supply an sold as Brahma chicks, but apparently they were wrong. And from what I'm hearing from others who have bought from them, this is not the first time they have sold chicks as one breed and turned out to be another.

Yes, they're well known for not maintaining their signage.

Are these chicks bantams? I'm not sure without something like a hand in the image for scale but they look like they may be?

Everyone is saying one is a silver laced Cochin, one is a delaware, one is a bb red dutch game bantam, and one is an Easter egger...they were sold as brahmas, which apparently is not the case

My brahma chick looks like a mini-ostrich, all legs! And really thick legs as compared to other chicks I have.

Those are breeds. Bantam is a size. A number of breeds come in both bantam and standard size and some breeds only exist in bantam size. Bantams are about half the size of a standard.

Oh ok, that I do not know

Many, many have had mixups from TSC it's more a "given" than a mistake

I was trying to figure out how a Dutch and a Delaware could be about the same size and then I learned that Welp hatchery has Delaware bantams. That helps ID the rest because it IDs the supplier and Welp has only certain breeds in their bantam offerings. Like the buff one with what appears to be a rose comb? "Belgium Quail".

Bantams are only offered as assorted at TSC. It's a mix of whatever breeds the hatchery offers in bantam size.

So, either the sign said Assorted Bantams and you misread it as Assorted Brahmas or the store had the wrong sign up.
