I'm not sure the breed of these little guys. I believe when my husband bought them he said they were bantams but they do it look like the other bantams/ silkies I have. I am new to the whole chicken game. Thank you for your help

Do I spy feathers on their feet? Maybe porcelain D'uccles if I had to guess.

 

[LindseyHouser86]

Yes they do have feathers on their feet!

This may be a stupid question but why did they just call them bantams?

 

[oldhenlikesdogs]

Yes they are little porcelain d'uccle, which are a breed of bantam. People who don't know breeds would call them just bantams.

If they just called them bantams (just means small sized birds) it must be a feed store seller. They usually dump breeds into bins, not often the correct ones, they are adorable chicks.

PS a lot of the feed stores, TSC etc. have no idea what different breeds look like, so just call the small ones bantams. Better to buy from a reputable breeder and know what you are getting, and what it will look like at maturity.

Thank you! I got them at Rural King which is a local feed store in PA. I was hoping for silkies, obviously I don't know much about chickens. I am absolutely in love with them. They are so tiny and the grey coloring is beautiful.

I personally think they are better than silkies.

Do they have a good temperament? I have looked up what they will look like when they get older and they are beautiful. I love the feathered feet.
