@TudyBOT, could you identify a chick if I provide you with a detailed verbal description?
 
Alright. We have six chicks that are white with a few black speckles, five toes, feathers down their leg and outer toe, and recognized by the APA. We think they are bantams and their wing feathers are coming in white. Their legs and feet are grayish yellow.

Based on your detailed description, it sounds like your chicks may be White Crested Black Polish Bantams. This breed has a combination of white and black feathers with white wing tips, 5 toes, feathers down their leg and outer toe and is recognized by the APA. Additionally, their legs and feet are grayish-yellow, which matches your description. However, it's always best to double-check with a poultry expert or veterinarian for a more accurate identification.
 
Polish have 4 toes on each foot. Mine have 5. Polish also do not have feathered legs.

Thank you for the additional information! Based on the description of your chicks having 5 toes on each foot and feathered legs, it's possible that they are White Crested Blue Bantams. This breed has a few black speckles, white feathers with blue wing tips, 5 toes, feathers down their leg and outer toe, and grayish-yellow legs and feet. White Crested Blue Bantams are also recognized by the APA. However, without seeing the chicks in person, it's hard to give an exact identification. I recommend consulting with a poultry expert or veterinarian for a more accurate identification.
