Unless you have REALLY TINY hands, I'd say those are LF!

will the white cochins even have the blue on their backs. as all 4 that I bought have blue on their backs, the one on the left is the bluest.
how do you know for sure they are standards, curious, trying to learn all I can.

When my Bantams hatch - they are about the size of my thumb - I can probably fit 3 or 4 in just the palm of my hand.

Not all birds that are white hatch that way. They sometimes have black or a grayish color on their back, and will turn white as they mature and feather in.

I hope the darker blue one is at least splash, or will that one turn white as well ??​

I have some nice (quality) Splash bantam eggs for sale if anyone is interested, check out my auction in the BST section.

My silver penciled bantams are here! I ordered 6 from Ideal through a friend, and we lost 4 in shipping

So, I am down to 2, but they are adorable!

My hope is that one of these is a roo (a pair would be FANTASTIC) that I can cross to a good quality Partridge hen to try to improve type while I scour the earth looking for more silver pencileds.
