This is a large chick from Myer's Hatchery. It is growing like a weed and very active. I got two of them. This one already has wings and tail started and the other barely has his/her wing feathers although they are the same age. Is this a Welsummer? 1 week old

This is a feedstore banty that came from Privett. It has feathered legs, 4 toes, and a polish looking topknot. I have looked and looked and have no clue what it is. It is very cute and 2 weeks old.

Thanks for looking!
 
The chick with the crest, I would guess, is a mix breed. It doesn't have the feathers of a Silkie, Polish don't have feathered legs, Sultans have 5 toes and don't come in that color, Salmon Faverolles have 5 toes and no crest, Cochins don't have beard/muffs or crest, D'Uccles don't have crests, and Brahmas don't have beard/muffs or crests.

The other two could be brown Leghorns or Welsummers or several other breeds but Leghorns and Welsummers are most common.
 
The first is definitely a Wellsummer, in my opinion. If I had to guess, the other might be a Buff Laced Polish/Black Copper Maran mix. Shrug... it's cool either way.
