Help Identify Bantam Chicks

[HeatherKellyB]

Looks like I will have to post them one at a time, so here goes.
First is the Self Blue OEGB, a pullet named Willow. I was worried about her feathers being scruffy, but they seem to be getting more and more nice as she grows new ones. Fingers crossed she'll feather beautifully, but if not, at least I know what's going on, thanks to @tn_artist She has the most beautiful face I've ever seen on a pullet, with the biggest and sweetest girly eyes. Of course I am biased, but really, her face is absolutely darling! She's beginning to act more confident and not absolutely terrified of EVERYTHING (my phone ~trying to take her picture~ still causes some major stress for her) . This morning she actually jumped into my open hand and stayed there while I moved her closer to me. After several minutes, her extremely loud cries started, but this is certainly progress for this cutie!

Next up is Archie, a Booted Bantam Cockerel in Mille Fleur. He is a vocal little guy, but hasn't even tried to crow yet, at least not in front of me. Archie suffered from pasty butt very often when he was very young and his entire back end was bald and although the skin never seemed irritated, it was dry and peeling. I believe all of the butt cleaning made him associate humans with negativity. I have been working with him a lot and he is finally showing more gentlemanly behavior. He got to where he would bite and peck any time he would see my hand. I'm hoping things will continue to improve

Update since it's taken a while to get this posted, he has started crowing

I reached out to a member on here that is notorious for identifying breeds, even with birds that make identifying them nearly impossible, and we had most of them right on, but I did get help in identifying the Booted Bantam (above) and the Red Pyle OEGB (below) FiFi, plus a couple others. @tn_artistis amazing at identifying too!!! I'm so jealous and hope to be this knowledgeable and good at identifying someday.
FiFi was tricky but now, I can see Red Pyle OEGB. She is getting more and more red around her face and neck. She is such a shy and nervous girl, but still super sweet, as long as I make her feel safe. She is a loner though so I worry the bottom of the pecking order will belong to her and Willow

@tn_artist got all of my OEGB colors right on, so I'll just share updated pictures of them. Ramona is my BBR (blue breasted red, I believe?) OEGB pullet and tends to be at the top of the pecking order. She's so confident and I just love watching her and interacting with her.

Hi friends! I just wanted to update this thread. I believe I got new pictures of everyone to share and I've got them all, but 2 identified.

Finley is a Silver Duckwing OEGB cockerel. He has taken the top of the pecking order over ALL the boys (my goodness I ended up with a lot of boys!!!). He is very curious about everything. He isn't overly affectionate with humans, but he isn't aggressive, at all. Here's hoping he will stay like this, but I know that he can go either way. He practices crowing throughout the day, every day, and is getting better and better. View attachment 2106189
I will post the others in another thread. I've been trying to get this update done and something comes up every single time I get in it, so I'll post what I have so far

Thank you for your kind words. My ID abilities only go well for birds I have had which are mostly bantams. I'm hopeless at large breeds.
All our littles are doing well, but we had a tragedy a week ago. Blueberry was not his usual self one day. He kept to himself, didn't jump on my knee and crow. No boisterous strutting, no chasing our cockrel, nothing. He didn't appear sick and we couldn't find any wounds. Sometime that night he passed. He was just a year old and we could find no reason for it. My daughter was devastated. She had just lost her new Seramas cockrel to a storm we had that took several young birds.
It's been a sad time here, but birds are well. We have several Mamas hatching out and a few more waiting patiently.
Thanks for updating, I was wondering how they all were doing.

poor blueberry! He had like a fan club here! It’s been the worst year for chicks for us. We lost theee adults early in the year to a coon, we hatched our first 3 this year and they all died in 24 hours still not sure why, we lost 3 bantams (2 to injury and 1 to congenital I believe) and 1 turkey poult
