My first bantam chicks!!!

[ChickenWhisperer101]

Hi everyone! I’ve gotten 4 different bird orders in the last week, and it’s been super fun, nerve racking and exciting, but one of the 3 orders I got today (well actually 2, the other one was goslings) are a first for me! Bantam chicks! I’ve owned 2 silkies before but they were about 12 weeks old when I got them so I never seen a bantam chick. My silkie chicks are pretty big, along with my d’ Uccles and Cochin bantam, but my sebrights, Japanese bantam and Old English bantam chicks are a pretty noticeable amount smaller! Is this just a breed thing? They are all cute and I hope I only get a couple roosters max, but I’m not so sure that’s gonna happen with 10 bantams. I just wanted to share how cute these mini chicks are and how they grow. Not all of my bantam chicks are pictures below, but I can get more pictures. Thanks for reading!

Also, can anyone tell me what color they think the silkie in the last 3 pictures is. In 3rd to last it’s the farthest to the right. Thanks in advance!

I’m not 100% sure, but I was told it was a silkie and it looks like a silkie in person, but again, I’m not 100% sure. I was thinking partridge silkie, but I’m not a silkie expert.

Here are all my bantams individually.
