I was sold the darker ones as blue andalusian pullet, but these have feathered feet now, so I doubt they are that breed. Also, they do not grow! I hatched that Buff Orp 3 days ago and the 2 dark ones I purchased from TS 3 weeks ago! Please help on the breed and possibly why they are micro still 😂 I’m not a first timer, I’m a seasoned chicken owner and have never come across this. They eat just fine, temps fine, poop fine, they flutter around just fine. They grew in feathers, but just stay little. Thanks in advance.

Feed store birds I'd guess Brahma if pea comb and cochin if single comb (can't tell very well here). No advice on size, sometimes when they're slower growers they're boys but it's more an old wives tale than certainty. It'll be easier to confirm breeds once they're a bit older :)
 
:welcome Not certain about the breed, but the smaller chicks are bantams.
Thanks! I looked up Bantam chicks and they look very similar to Sea Bright. It also says they grow very slow and are a smaller bird, so I guess that might be what I have.

Sebrights have clean legs unfortunately, bantam cochins are more common than bantam brahmas, or could be a booted bantam!
