Mixed bantams

[citypeepers]

So yesterday we got our first ever chicks and went with the cute little bantams. They had 3 different kinds so we got 2 of each. Any guesses as to what they are? Besides tiny and adorable

I'll have to get a better picture of the second black/ copper headed one after work cause its wing pattern is more spotted than its counterpart.

Looks like 2 gold Sebrights, 2 silver Sebrights, and 2 Old English Game, probably black breasted red. The brown striped birds are you OEG, the ones with silver laced wings are silver Sebrights, the ones with gold laced wings are gold Sebrights. This is not 100% but I think it is likely that's what they are.

Agree completely with JedJackson. You've got two Silver Sebrights and two Gold Sebrights that's for certain. And the other two are most likely Old English games and most likely BB Reds as this is the most common color sold by almost every hatchery. And they fit the chick pattern for BB Red fairly good.

2 Golden Sebrights, 2 Silver Sebrights, and looks to be 2 Silver Duckwing OEGBs, as they appear light rather than wildtype. Bantams are the best!

White feathers laced with black on the wings, white heads, olive legs.

I hope your Sebrights have come from a hatchery with good lacing! I got some Silvers from Ideal, and the lacing was spectacular! I have also had Golden ones. GEORGOUS breeds! I highly recommend!

Thanks everyone! Can't wait to see them feather out the next few weeks

You're so welcome!
Looking forward to those updates!

Agree with Jed Jackson and Gray Farms

Now that I've actually had time to look up all these breeds I definitely agree, though have one question.

Penny is definitely golden sebright but the other chick that looks like her has a different feather pattern going on?

Penny clearly has the lace look

But this little one has a speckled/ spotted pattern. Is Henny just special or some different breed all together? Other than that they look almost identical.
