Breed

[mmwellsfarm]

Any ideas on breeds? I figure it's too early to know if they are roos or pullets.

These are bantams, right?

1 old English game bantam. Maybe black breasted red.

2 Partridge Cochin

3 maybe a millie fleur old English game bantam

4 maybe a millie fleur D'Uccle

5 gold Sebright

6 porcelain D'Uccle

7 maybe an old English game, but unsure of color

These are just guesses. The pictures aren't the best, and it would be good to know if they came from a backyard breeder, hatchery or feed store.

Yes, bantams. Sorry for forgetting to say that. I tried getting better pictures but my lighting isn't the best where they are. They came from 2 different feed atores.

Okay, that is what I figured. The only ones I am unsure on are 3 and 7. I think 3 could be what I said, mille fleur old English game bantam, but not positive since that is a rare color. 7 I think could be a buff laced Sebright, if it has a rose comb. For both of them it should be easier to tell when they are a little older. 6 weeks is a good time since that is the start date for sexing them.

After looking at pictures in thinking 7 is Red Pyle Old English Game. I've been hoping for some Silver Duckwing in the smaller chicks we got that aren't pictured.

That makes sense. Usually not so much red on pyles, but they are variable from hatcheries.

Silver duckwing is a popular color, so there's a good chance you have some if you bought old English bantams. They have the chipmunk pattern but the fuzz outside of the stripe will look grayish instead of reddish, usually.

Trying to figure out what the breeds are of these two Roos I received as “packing peanuts” could be. Any guesses?

These look like some type of dual purpose meat hybrid.
