Hello: four bantams, 10 months old; Maryland

[Henrietta Maria]

From a hobby-farmer who supplies 4H with entry animals for learning. Lots of stuff on his land, in upper Montgomery County Maryland. Often sells x-linked red hens for backyard flocks.

Two are very dark: will send pictures in AM. Stormy now, but here are two light ones, with some speckles. Light cream one and the other nearly white.

Friendly and skittish after the ride home.

Mixes that look like they possibly contain Bantam Cochin.

Thank you for your expert eyes, here. I really appreciate this.

All named for grandmothers in my tree: Henrietta Maria, Charlotte Louisa, Druscilla Susannah, and Bridey Ailish (Bridget Alice).

Beautiful names!

Are they all feathered legged? Can you get clear, individual pictures? They're likely all mixes, but the color of the one on the right looks brown red, rather than a mix of varieties which may mean it's pure something

 

[Henrietta Maria]

Tomorrow if clear. Yes. This is the last one, at dusk.

 

[Henrietta Maria]

No feathers. The two dark ones have dark legs...approaching blue.

 

[Rhodebar Lover]

Those two are likely Brown Red OEGB although their body type is a bit heavy

 

[Henrietta Maria]

One of them sports blue-black-green feathers, much like grackles and blackbird in mating glory. All are sweet. Really lie flutter flying! Eventually, when they are clear on the coop as home, well time in the yard but only when I am with them.

Are the light ones bantam cochin crosses, without feathered legs?

Thank you.
