help me out, what are these little creatures? EDIT: more pictures

[drumstick diva]

I'm sure we need more pictures to tell for sure. Wants lots more pictures, bigger pictures, pictures front and side view (like police do). Just kidding but, sure love pictures. They are real cuties and I never saw baby turkens before.

I would think you have Old English Games as well, just as they are more common. But, if it is any help the Old English Games will have white legs/skin, and the welsummers are yellow. Though while young for some reason I am thinking the OEGB has yellowish feet, that turned white with age.

I had a Buff Turken for awhile, a pretty cool bird. Ugly as all get out, but her temperment could melt anyone's heart, not even my father wanted to eat her (she didn't get eaten, we sold her, I just say that because every single chicken my father sees is on a plate)

sorry it's blurry..this is the darker one

this is the lighter one

there was not a lot of cooperation from them or the camera!

my son is sleeping right now but i was going to bring them inside (they are in my plant starting room to keep it a consistant temp, and the dogs and cat away) maybe i can put better pics up later!

Naked Neck is a correct term. By the way, it's spelled Turken.

I always called them Turkens myself due to that being their original name, and there also being so many other naked necked breeds

I think the little chipmunk ones are EEs. Do they have greenish legs? If so, that is what you have. The Turkens/Naked Necks are cute.

I would bet money that your little striped ones are old english game bantams... Here's a picture of one that I had. She let me carry her around like a dog. Sweet little thing!

I love your little naked necks!

My neighbor used to have naked necks. I incubated/ brooded a couple batches for her last year. You should know pretty soon if they are boys... the boys were always the trouble makers of the groups. Not mean, but the first to fly out of the brooder, the ones that climbed into the feeder and had to wait to be rescued, the ones that got out of the grow out pen and ran straight into the giant mud puddle the dogs made, the one that jumped on my head to get a better view of the yard and got stuck in my ponytail! The girls were all sweet (and SANE LOL!)

I have no idea on the banties though.

TURKEN, was first name for breed, because their necks looked like turkey necks

Yep on the spelling, but read this, thats what i think of spelling..

What color were her legs as a chick? I have the same-looking bantam chicks posted in another thread, but mine have pink legs (not white like a PP mentioned). I've been told either pheonix or OEGB, but I'm hopiing OEGB.
