Help me guess breeds for these crested chicks please.

They are also called 'German Spitzhauben', too.

This is the page, no?

Well, there ya go! I didn't know the other name for them. Those do look just like my little guys! Yay!

I know, we currectly have a small Spitz chick in our brooder. Looks just like yours.

But be aware that they went to grow up to look very Polish-like because they are the offspring of hatchery stock poultry. They'll look like Silver Laced Polish chickens with messed up feathering, I'm afraid. With a very big crest (which they aren't supposed to have).

They are just pets for me, so I don't mind if the traits of the breed aren't perfect. Thanks for your help!!

kfl73, I believe you were right about the chicks in the 2nd picture. They are starting to get black and white wings and are looking so pretty!!! Of all the crested chicks that I got, these 2 are the sweetest-tempered. I hope they stay this way.
