Chicken math is contagious

[redinator]

My local Tractor Supply stopped stocking chicks a few weeks ago, so I asked a friend to check his Tractor Supply (2.5 hours away from me) for bantams.

This friend has other birds (geese, turkeys, ducks) but not chickens, so I thought he'd be immune to chicken math . . . boy was I wrong! He fell victim to Tractor Supply's $1 chick sale.

He got:

8 Black Sex-Links


3 Cinnamon Queens (TSCs version of Red Sex-Links) I have two of the darker ones and one lighter one


7 Straight Run Assorted Bantams which includes:

3 Yellow Bantams (two have frizzled feathers and feathered legs, one is not frizzled and has naked legs)



2 Buff bantams: Both have frizzle feathers and feathered legs.


2 Grey (Blue) Bantams: these two are super small, even compared to the other bantams of the same age, strong and active, just micro chicks



Since Hover's Hatchery only carries a few bantams I hoping to get help figuring which ones I have. The frizzled feathers are throwing me off since they don't seem to (intentionally) carry any 'frizzle' bantams. I remember reading that the frizzle gene is a recessive gene and can pop up in just about any breed, so that could be the case here.

Thoughts?

This is likely not a Cinnamon Queen. Wait for it to mature more.
Next group are Buff Cochin Bantams and a Red Pyle Old English Game Bantam or a White Laced Red Cornish. Check comb
Next are Red Cochin Bantams
The blue chicks are likely Blue Old English Game Bantams
Hoover’s Bantam Cochins are often frizzled

Neither of them look like Cinnamon Queens? One is darker and looks a bit gamier than the other, so I suspected they weren't the same breed.

The right one. The other is one and has a clear rose comb. I’m guessing Brown Leghorn but time will tell

If it's a pullet I'm still happy . . I don't have brown leghorns yet. Only time will tell. Thanks

This sounds about right.
BTW frizzles don't just pop up in any breeds and it's not recessive.

Good to know. Google strikes again.

Very true. I should have mentioned!

Hey you gotta leave something for me.
You're too quick and too correct all the time.

Just to clarify, the darker one is the one that might be brown leghorn? The lighter one might be. . . . Cinnamon Queen? Which one has the rose comb, I can't tell this young, lol.
