Just hatched my first chick!


The one in the center is pochahontas, I think she looks like a silver laced wyandotte but she is smaller than my other wyandotte..could she be a cross?
next to her is Sleeping Beauty my RIR hen. Directly behind pochahontas is Tiana, not sure of her breed.

another view of Tiana, she has a faint barred pattern.

another view of Tiana, behind her is Ariel. she is the one that from my pictures looked like a japanese bantum..but I could be making that up. Her tail is very flat and straight up. She has emerald green coloring mixed with her black. You can see the red skin/ bald spot on her back, she came to me that way and I have not been able to get her feathers to grow in. Pochahontas also had a bare spot when she came to me but her feathers have grown in.
None of my eggs are really small, like bantum eggs, so if anything I would think maybe they are part bantum? or maybe just still young and growing? I don't know their ages.
 
This is cinderella, the Buff Orpington


Snow White, Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty checking out the sandbox with my daughter!

The girls free ranging. We had two of the white chickens ( like rapunzel- the ones further back in the picture, but one died :-( )
snow white is the one closer up up in the picture.

another picture of Tiana, I am thinking she might be the mommy of this chick?
 
The Prince


We also have a black Australorp but she is only 4-5 months old and just started laying eggs so I know she is not the mom. I dont have any recent pics of her, just from when she was a baby.
I would love any thoughts on the breed identifications of the girls and also who you think the mom of the chick might be..and any guesses on gender of the chick?
Thanks for all of your help.
 
Just had to post one more picture..or two!

I would love thoughts on what breed snow white might be too.

snow white and Jasmine.
 
Thanks! That is what I was thinking too, about the chick. Any thoughts on what
Ariel and rapunzel are?
