I got these from Ideal poultry. I think most were oeg bantams but want to make sure and know what color they are called.They are nine weeks old.

pic one is a cochin I believe it's a cockerel but hoping otherwise.

pic two is either blue or silver laced but not sure what.

pic three is a little cockerel I actually have two of. It has a little red coming in on the back but it's a little hard to see.

pic four is a white pullet with just a little splash

and last is a pullet similar to one of the other cockerels

If the two pullets are oeg which of the above cockerels would you keep them with? Thanks for the help.
 
The Cochin can be girl.For second boy I need side picture.Other boy is Black breasted Red.Splash girl and Blue Red girl
 
Thanks for the help. This is as close to a side view of the other cockerel I have. If it's not good enough to tell I'll take another picture.

Thanks Chickenlover. I wonder if he'll get any more coloring as he matures. I doubt I'll order from Ideal again. They had excellent customer service but I also have some RIR's that came in on the same shipment that have some stray white feathering. I know it may go away but in the couple dozen RIR's I've raised I haven't had any with white feathers. I also have some cockerels with combs all over the place. I guess if all you want is some brown eggs it's fine and I know hatchery bred chickens aren't correct in type but they've allways been closer than these.
