How early can you tell a Mille Fleur from a Buff Brahma bantam?

[LunaticChick]

I just got my babies from MPC yesterday and I know I have a lavender orp and a white cochin because I specified. I also ordered 3 assorted bantams. I know one is a white silkie, or at least 95% but the other 2 could be a Mille Fleur d'Uccle or Buff Brahma Bantams. The baby pics on their website look very similar. At what age should I post pics so they can be identified?
Thanks for the help!

You can post them now, it should be pretty easy to tell the difference.

These are my mille fleur d'uccle chicks. I also have brahmas but no pics of when they were chicks right now. The biggest difference between the two is that brahmas have no beard and no vulture hocks ( the feathers coming in on the back of the d'uccles legs). Mine are only a week old and the feathering is already showing so if your are close to that you should be able to tell.

I'm not a great photographer but here are some pics!

It looks quite large for a bantam chick
Or the pic makes it look bigger than it is

I forgot the biggest difference! Brahmas have a pea comb and d'uccles have a single! I can't tell from the pics, does it have one row of little spikes or a few rows of little bumps?

I'm sure it is the way I took the pics because they are smaller than the orp and cochin and all are same age.
