Clean legged Banties....what are they?

[tbitt]

I could not help myself, they were the last ones at Rual King so I had to take them home.

They are straight run Assorted Bantam.

Anyone have an idea what breed they are?

The mostly red one does not have the eye stripe. The other 2 do, but they are both slightly different colored, but have the same patterns.

Some of them look like Easter Eggers. Tiny green and blue eggs. XD I hope that's what they are, just so you have cute little colored eggs.

Here are a couple of my standard sized EE chicks. Some of yours look similar.

I would love for them to be EEs but I am not sure. I know some are Cochin....leg feathers....but these clean leg ones are making me go Hmmmmmm....none of the 3 clean legged ones have muffs.....

I don't even know what hatchery Raul King uses....

Anyone think the red one without the prominent eye stripe looks like this?

He does look a lot like that. That would be really neat. I hear they usually go broody regularly and make good Mamas. If that's what (s)he turns out to be then I'm jealous.

I do not know what I am going to do if they end up being boys.... This little red one has some courage already.....

Yeah, we're gonna eat our roosters. Lord knows we can't keep any more. We have one rooster to each hen as it is. (Not including the chicks.) Those poor girls. They don't stand a chance.

And of course! We always say "she" around here. It works every time.
