Mixed bantams from the feed store.

Do hatcheries sell bantam Araucanas (Easter Eggers)? B/c easter eggers are the only chicks I found that looked like little chipmunks like this one does. lol
 
Old english game bantams have the chipmunk looks. Also pheonix! But mama24 is right EE also look like that. And if your chick with 5 toes does not have black skin it is not a silkie. There are some other breeds that have 5 toes. Some of those are dorking, faverolle, houdan, and sultan. All of which come in bantams. Your best bet to figuring out what chick it is, is to find out which hatchery it came from and see what breeds they carry.

BTW your babies are adorable!

I can home with some bantam chicks from tractor supply as well

The ones with 5 toes could be sultans. The two black/grey white one maybe are light brahmas?

The one chick you have looks like mine did ( in the middle ) when we got it. She is a bantam dark cornish

My chipmunky one has dark legs, though. That's what's confusing me. All of the OEGB chicks I've seen have yellow legs, not the greenish gray mine has. Maybe I'll try to take individual pics.

They came from Mt Healthy hatchery.

If they are greenish you probably have a bantam EE. SO ADORABLE! Does it have kind of puffy cheeks? Even if it doesnt it is probably a EE.
 
Maybe I'm just being hopeful. LOL. But it's legs really are more of a light gray than they are yellow.

I think these are cochins, or maybe brahmas?

I have NO idea what this chick is. It's all black, black legs, black beak. It's the smallest and softest, though. Clean legs.

These are the 2 white ones, both have feathered legs. 1 has 4 toes, the other has 5.

Yes, silkies have five toes, with blackish beak and legs and skin at least that is what the man at TSC told me today.
 
The first chick with the chipmunk markings could very well be a Dutch. We got one last year, thought it was an oegb, but ended up with grey legs. She's the cutest sweetest most talkative little girl. If it is a dutch you're very lucky as we've been looking for some this year at tsc. So far no luck.

Yes! I think you're right about the Dutch! Beautiful birds! Maybe I need to go back to TSC and get some more! LOL. They had several of the chipmunk chicks there.
