More fun breed guessing games (bantams and polish)

[smallcitychick]

I grabbed 3 bantams from the feed store "assorted bantam" bin yesterday. I think I have 2 of them figured out, but not sure about this cutie. My best guess is maybe a white cochin bantam? It has feathered feet and is white/yellow.

Then my other question is about some polish chickens. I got these two guys from the 'assorted polish' bin. Any guesses on what coloring this one will have?

polish #2...not sure what to think about this one. It's almost completely black (except for some light feathers underneath) and it's a lot smaller than the first polish and it's little 'top hat' is almost non-existant. Do you think it could still be a polish?

Here's a pic with the other polish and then the white bantam for size comparison:

1. is a white cochin.

2. is a blue polish.

3. is a black silkie.

Does 3 have feather legs. If not how can it be a silkie

Chick #3 does not have feathered legs, so I don't think it's a silkie. I did grab it from the assorted polish bin, so I was thinking somekind of polish, but not sure if a random chick maybe slipped in there.

I LOVE white cochins (I have 2 standard white cochin hens right now that are the sweetest things!) and hubby would be tickled to death of the one polish turned out to be blue or a buffed laced (especially if it was a hen!)

#3 is a Crevecouer

#2 I believe is a white crested blue Polish
#1 is either a Cochin or a D'Uccle. I was trying to see in the pics if it had a beard/muffs.

I haven't heard of crevecouer....I'll have to go look that one up.

I don't *think* that #1 has a beard or muff. I had easter egger chicks last year and remember their puffy looking cheeks, and this yellow/white chick doesn't seem to have poofy feathers around his/her face at all.

Your Polish is definitely a blue with a white crest.
Edit: A Crevecoeur is almost like a Polish and is commonly mistaken as a polish when in the middle stage. Don't get them mixed up when their crests become larger xD Crevecoeurs crests are more like a mohawk than a fluff ball though.
