Help ID my baby chicks please n ty :)

[workindog]

Can anyone help ID these babies? I forgot what they were and they had so many different kinds of chicks togerher. I thought i had 3 silkies, turns out, i only got one silky, the other 2 have feathery feet but pink beaks, feet and they dont have an extra toe. I got 2 wyandotte chicks, i know they are the bigger darker ones (only 1 in the photo tho) so yeah out of all these chicks, i know the silky and wyandotte. Help

Your chicks are so beautiful.

1. A very pretty Easter Egger
2. I wonder, perhaps both of those are Old English Game Bantams? I just don't feel like they're Speckled Sussexes or Welsummers, but I guess they could be..
3. White Cochin (perhaps a bantam as well?)
4. Gold Sebright Bantam
5. Looks like a White Silky Bantam
6. Golden Laced Wyandotte

Do you know if they're all the same age? Where did you get them? And did you pick them out from a bantam bin?
With the exception of at least the Wyandotte, I'm sure (and perhaps the EE), I wouldn't be surprised if they're all bantams.
And, the Sebright is really pretty.

Awwww. Ty i wuv my chicks so much already. I even brought their brooder next to my bed so i can look at them when i happen to wake up tossing and turning

Ok stupid question. I see so many talking about easter eggers. What does that mean? Is that like a mutt but in the chicken world? Any idea of what it will look like when its older?

And i do remember seeing the word bantam lol but they had so many i didnt know if I was coming or going lol i got them at tractor supply. Tho, i think i want to go back and get more sebrights and silkies. They are my favorite thus far. If i do go back, i will definitely take pics of the names hahaha

They had 7 bins and in those 7 most had several different kinds. As for ages.. i assumed they were all newly hatched and around the same age?

I saw on CL about an hour and a half from me, frazzles or frizzles (cant remember which lol) and blue silkies, 10 bucks each. I am so tempted to take a drive ;-)

And ty, my gsd's name is Steel. Hes a mommas boy but a strangers nightmare

Aw. That's sweet.

No question is stupid here. (How can we or others learn sometimes if we don't ask?)
And yeah, you could put it that way (referring to an EE as a mutt). There's varying opinions on this, but I and others will say they were bred/developed primarily from Ameraucanas and Araucanas, two purebreeds that lay blue eggs (lots of places/online hatcheries will mislabel an EE--which is FAR more common than Ameraucanas and Araucanas--as Ameraucanas, misleading the customer. So you won't be buying an Ameraucana at all, but an EE, which lots of places sell. True Ameraucanas are not found at many places, and the best ones probably come from private breeders specializing in them). I'm sure there are other birds in their old lineage, too,though. And they tend to/usually have muffs and/or a beard, but that most certainly isn't always the case. And they have pea combs, and tend to have green legs (I believe all but perhaps the black Ameraucanas have slate colored legs), but again, that's not always the case. They don't have a specific color (like Ameraucanas do), so that's one beautiful thing about them...both their image and egg shell color vary greatly. Egg shell color is normally blue/green, but can be a light brown and even rose/pinkish color, too. So no telling what your EE will look exactly like, as of yet. I am going to guess that s/he might very possibly have a bit of blue in its plumage, though.

You probably did get mostly bantams, then. And I don't know anything about Sebrights' personalities, but Silkies are nice lil' calm birds.

That's nice! I one time got two silkie hens (a blue one and a white one) for $10 apiece through Craigslist...that's like a steal! But since I had them, one or both only laid as much as seven eggs, I believe, before never to lay again. Then they died around 3 months after I got them.

Yes, your dog is cute.

Ameraucanas were derived from Easter Eggers. There's great information and articles out there from John Blehm, who developed many Ameraucana color varieties.

I'm new to this myself. But #3 sure looks like our little Terri, who was supposed to be an Ideal 236 Leghorn hybrid, but apparently isn't.
