Just bought some new hatchery choice bantams... what are they??

[mossfamilyfarm]

Hi Everyone!

I just bought some hatchery choice straight run Bantam chicks and was wondering if you all could help me figure out what they are? I tried looking it up myself, but there were so many and truthfully, I don't have the patience

I know the pictures are not the greatest, but once again no patience. If needed I can try to take better ones. Is it too early to be able to determine the sex? I would LOVE to have mostly hens

but my luck I will have 5/5 roosters

If you guys can help me determine sex, i will gladly take whatever better pictures are needed, I hate waiting to figure out these things!

Here they are:

Thanks in Advance!!

silkies and cochins.

Cochins? Maybe Brahmas too? The only thing I'm making that assumption on is their feathered legs.

Cute chicks!

#1 Blue or gray silkie
#2 white silkie
#3 red cochin
#4 black cochin

Oh... I forgot to mention... I dont have much experience with chickens but #1 and 2 seem to have an extra toe?? I dont even know if thats right, but all the other chicks have 4, and the others have 5? Is that a defect or normal? Does it have something to do with the sex of the chick??
Thanks Again!

that's kinda what I'm thinking too, but if they have pea combs they could be Brahmas

I'm no expert either but I believe the first two are silkies, because of the apparent 5th toe. If we're wrong about the extra toe just let us know.

5 toes is what silkies are supose to have, so you're fine there.
