Help Identify Bantam Chicks

[HeatherKellyB]

@21hens-incharge ,would you mind sharing your thoughts on the above chicks?

I agree old English on the first ones.

#7 is to tough...you must send it to me immediately so that I can snuggle it I mean examine it in person.


Bantams are certainly harder to tell breed on.
Not all Japanese bantams have the short leg gene....especially hatchery birds. You just might have one there.

#7 is RoXy, aka XBack. The near perfect X amazes me and it's what made us choose it. Thank you for your time and thoughts!

I think #6 is a white frizzle Cochin.

I think #6 is a white frizzle Cochin.

I'd be thrilled with that but it's a really small compact chick. I guess my other cochin bantam is super compact but he is so big looking because of his feathers. He probably would be a little peanut without the feathers. I really hope it's frizzled!

I realize that this is a Hatchery bird, but I'm really enjoying this beauty, so I wanted to share a picture of my Pyncheon. I'm sure a lot of breeders can find many faults but all I see is love <3 So far this bird has been the sweetest and most gentle of any chick I've had. I really wish I had more, even if it's not a true pyncheon.

this is Pom Pom! We think it’s a polish black with white crest

Baby #3 is definitely a Mille Fleur D’Uccle bantam!! I’ve also gotten OEGB from tractor supply and here’s some pictures of mine when they were around this age!View attachment 2056350View attachment 2056352

Are these barred something? I have 2 that look like that. One with a large white spot I think is a roo and a mostly black one I think is a hen

Hello BYC friends! I hope everyone is well. I caved and ended up with some bantams from TSC. I'm really uncertain of the breeds, so I'm hoping you can help me possibly figure out what I might have. I know that I have 1 Pyncheon and hopefully 3 OEGB, but the others I am clueless about.
The first picture is two of my 3 hopeful OEGB. We'll refer to them as #1. They're almost 3 weeks old. The one that's not in the picture has the same pattern and coloring but it's a little smaller and the colors are a little sharper. All 3 have clean legs/feet. Like all the others, I purchased them from TSC assorted bantam bin. View attachment 2056183
Next up is a sweet very pale yellow chick that is lightening up to white. It has clean legs/feet. This chick is almost 3 weeks old and is comparable in size to the possible OEGB's. We'll refer to this one as #2. I thought that it was a black tail white Japanese bantam, but now I feel like it's legs are too long or possibly too large overall. Of course it's not a large chick, but some of the others are smaller.

#3 is a very petite chick with a compact body shape and feathered legs/feet. The lady at TSC thinks it's one of the gold cochins. I can't get over the size as it's as small or smaller than chicks 1 to 2 weeks younger and is just overall small. #3 is almost 3 weeks old.

#4 was purchased with some 2 to 3 day old bantam chicks but looks like it's closer to the age of my almost 3 week olds or maybe even 4 weeks old, comparing the wing feathers. It has clean legs/feet. Has a silver area on top of a tan/dark yellow head. View attachment 2056203
#5 is almost 2 weeks old. The Bantams in this assortment came from Privett Hatchery. (I only know the Hatchery name for these last chicks) This chick has black skin with clean legs/feet. This chick is on the small side and it's wing feathers seemed to come in quite slow. View attachment 2056212
#6 is the smallest of all. This one has a body shape like #3. Both of them are very compact. This one also has feathered legs/feet. #6 is almost 2 weeks old. The wing feathers on this chick seem to turn outward away from the body. TSC received this chick from Privett Hatchery. View attachment 2056216

#7 is a white chick with a black X on it's back and a couple other black spots. Body shape is compact and it's small all over. It has clean legs/feet. TSC received this chick from Privett Hatchery.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on what breeds I might have. I appreciate your time in reading my thread and sharing your knowledge. Thank you so much

Mine look so much like your 3 and 5. My lavender one is really tiny also!

Here they are now! I thought they were going to be totally black but they’re actually Red Breasted Black OEGB!
