My new, and first Bantams... What are they?

[amarook]

I got my first bantams. I got 4 different ones, can you help me figure out what they are?

#1 Is this a Japanese Bantam?

#2

#3

#4

And this last one... Please tell me it's a black Australorp.

Thanks!

2/3 sebrights?

 

[CityGirlintheCountry]

Yeah, #2 looks a lot like my silver sebright as a baby.

 

[noitulover]

2 is a silver sebright
3 is a golden sebright
(100% positive)

and 1 looks like a jap, but i'm not positive

2. silver laced seabright
3. golden laced seabright
4. black cochin bantam

 

[CHickenKRazy09]

Judgeing by the seabrights feathering the silver laced is a cockeral and the golden laced is a hen

If the little black one seems to waddle when it walks, seems to 'lean forward' more than stand upright, almost looks like something other than a chicken because of the way it stands (one of my daughters says it looks like a hallmark painting of a little black bird)

and - if its wings seem to sweep right 'round to its bum when they get developing, and its tailfeathers mostly point upright:

Yep! Its a Japanese.

Yours looks just like mine did a weeks ago. We've discovered that we have two of them - the white one developed a little more slowly and its legs are a bit longer so it doesn't lean quite as dramatically as the black one, but up goes its tail and round to the tail go its wings.

They are also incredibly LOUD when they start "complaining", for being such tiny little boogers.

And your last chick does look like our Australorp pullets did.

Was at our TSC on Saturday for hardware cloth. The only thing that saved me was that the Banty Bin was EMPTY.

Otherwise.....I'd have had to help empty it! Again.

Hi!!!!

Yeah I remember you saying that the black one is a Japanese.

Was your hubby mad about the extra 2?


lol

Jeff was like, "You asked me about a duck, not 8 more chickens."
lol

He is totally smitten with the ducklings.
