Hi I just traded a young bantam pullet for these two bantam cockerels owner doesn't know the breed so I'm trying to figure it out. The first one looks like a golden laced bantam Cochin to me but the other little black one I have no idea, he is soooo tiny you can see the comparison of him to a regular rooster in one of the pics. If you guys have any idea about the breeds of these two please let me know



 
I would guess that the little black one may be a Black austrolorp bantam. I only had a hen so it is a guess

If he is really tiny then he may be a serama rooster, although they usually have wings that hang lower. Then again even us people, ,,,, no 2 are exactly alike... (for the most part)

there are many cross breeds.....the feather pattern looks like a golden laced wyandotte...unfortunately im no expert

gold laced is simply a color. Several breeds come in gold laced. this bird is not a Wyandotte, it's a hatchery quality cochin.

I'm not really a bantam person, but the black bird looks to have proportionally short legs, could it be a Japanese? Waiting for a bantam person to chime in.

That was what I was thinking first but it has really dark green almost slate leggs and japanese are suppose to have yellow legs
